Wedding Fifty Years Ago Before The Time Of Nice Bridal Gifts
A Charleston Abbeville wedding from December 19 1860 is recalled with Moorish lanterns and blazing pine lights at the mansion. The ceremony united Edwin Calhoun of Willington and Sarah Smart Tilman of Monterey, with 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen. Guests recall relatives, wartime deaths, and the secession mood as rain darkened the yard and the lights glowed indoors and out.
