Louis Rosenberg - Clarisse Cerf Wedding

Two sisters married two brothers. In my last post was the wedding announcement for the younger sister. Here is the second one for Louis Rosenberg and Clarisse Cerf, who were married on December 31, 1887, in Ukiah, California. The sisters are daughters of Aaron and Phoebe Levy Cerf. The wedding was performed by Myer S. Levy of the First Hebrew Congregation of Oakland. The witnesses on the marriage license were Adolph Marks and Marcus Newfield, both residents of Ukiah.

ROSENBERG-CERF

The nuptials of Mr. Louis Rosenberg and Miss Clarisse Cerf were celebrated at the residence of the bride's parents, last evening, the Rev. M. S. Levy, of Oakland, officiating, the ceremony being that of the Sons of Israel. There were but a chosen few of the friends of the family present but the occasion was one of joy and gladness to all. The ceremony and charge to the couple was the most impressive we have ever witnessed, and could not help making better men and women of those who witnessed it. Music was provided by Miss Eva and Master Maurice Hirsch, and was a most commendable feature of the evening's pleasure.

The bride was beautifully dressed in a cream brocaded satin, cut princess style, of walking length. The front of the skirt was formed of wide plaits, separated by wide fans; the right side formed a narrow plaited panel, ornamented with orange blossoms and beautiful cream silk lace; a sash extended from the right side to the left and was caught up in loops forming a graceful sash panel; the back was finished with a full sash drapery of brocade and cream satin; the waist was cut high-necked, the front was trimmed with a plaited plastron [a trimming on the front of the bodice like a cloth breastplate], finished on each side with revers of brocaded satin, sleeves tight fitting, finished with silk lace; straight collar of brocade, closed on left side by a bouquet of orange blossoms; her hair done al a pompadour; the veil was of French faille, caught gracefully from right side of pompadour with orange blossoms.
