On a sparkling Christmas evening in December, 1891 at the beautiful and unique residence of KK Cutter, daughter Miss Laura Grace Cutter wed.   KK Cutter, famous architect, threw open his stunning home known as The Chalet to become the scene of a most brilliant reception which followed the wedding.

Both the wedding and the reception have been eagerly looked forward to with anticipations of great pleasure by the society people of this city who are dressed in their finest.

The several parlors had all been thrown open into one big hall. The rooms are elegantly decorated with holly, hyacinths, chrysanthemums, calla lilies, palms, ferns, rubber trees, and potted plants. They all were harmoniously arranged pleasantly. The beautiful costumes of the ladies shown lovely. All were dressed in white. The effects of the whole under the brilliant lights was very gay and festive and Christmas-like.

The wedding ceremony was performed at 7:30pm by Dean Crawford of All Saints Episcopal Church. It was quite a private affair with only a few intimate friends invited – close friends and relatives of the bride and groom. There were no bridesmaids.

Dean Crawford led the way into the library followed by Henry Hoyt, the groom and Mr KK Cutter, father of the bride.

Miss Cutter walked alone to the music of the wedding march from Lowengrin, played by a quartet from the Auditorium Theater, orchestra led by Mr Frank Hoppe.

The brides gown exceeded the expectations of the day.  it was a handsome Paris dress of white satin brocade of the time of Louis XIV and was made with a full train. The corsage was cut V-shaped and was trimmed with white hyacinths. She wore a plain white tulle veil and looked very lovely and happy.

At 8:00pm the doors were thrown open and a grand reception began. The bride and groom took their stands in the library where the wedding ceremony had just been celebrated. As the guests arrived, they in turn each extended their heartiest congratulations. The bride discharged the rather trying duties of her new position in the most graceful and pleasing manner.

The young couple were the recipients of such a host of presents that it was impossible to place them on display, or even to get a list of them ready. They will, however, be placed on exhibition in a day or two and will be well worth a visit.

Miss Cutter carried in her left hand a bouquet of white roses and hyacinths and decorated each of her young lady guests with the bouquets as she greeted them. One of the roses held a gold ring attached to it and the presumption is that the lady who had the good fortune to draw it would be the next bride herself. Miss Jessica Prickett was the winner and the neat little diamond ring cannot but be a most delightful souvenir to her of the occasion.

Throughout the evening the Auditorium Quartet played a number of wonderful selections, the prettiest of which was "Tender and True"

A delicious supper was provided by the Hotel Spokane which is as much as saying that it was all that could be desired. Before the guests attacked it, the tables were loaded with salads, ices, cakes, and other dainties decorated with the ever present hyacinths. It was a picture to please the eye of the most exacting.

The reception ended at 11:00pm and was numerously attended. The names of the guests who all wore evening dresses and formal attire are given below in the order of their arrival.
