The wedding claimed much attention among a wide circle of relatives and friends of the two families, not only here but in other parts of the state. Miss Fluker's paternal grandparents were the late Colonel and Mrs. David Fluker, of East Feliciana parish, and her mother's parents were the late Dr. and Mrs. A. Maguire, the latter before her marriage Miss Mary Leake of West Feliciana parish. She is a very lovely member of the younger set in New Orleans. Mr. Richardson is a grandson of the late Colonel and Mrs. John B. Richardson of this city. He attended Tulane university and is a member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity. The parlors were profusely decorated with palms, garlands of smilax, gladioli and peonies. Rev. Father Navin, S.J., officiated at the ceremony. The rooms were crowded with relatives and friends of the two families from here and elsewhere. The attendants at the wedding were Mrs. J. Calhoun Fluker, sister-in-law of the bride; Miss Mildred A. Graham who acted as maid of honor and Miss Laura McDonald, as bridesmaid. Dr. William Richardson, uncle of the bridegroom, was best man and the groomsmen were his brother, Mr. J. Calhoun Fluker and Mr. Wm. Wharton and Messrs. Charles Butler Maguire, now of San Francisco, a cousin of the bride, and Edward B. Briggs, were ushers. The ribbonbearers, holding garlands of white ribbon and carrying clusters of daisies and baby-breath, were Misses Clothilde Keller, May Dixon, Lucille Hyams and Edna Pohlmenn. They wore similar gowns of pale green chiffon, made with circular ruffles and falling long. Miss Beverly Harris, a niece of the bridegroom, was trainbearer and wore a frock of orchid-colored chiffon. The bride wore a bridal gown of ivory-colored satin with the sleeves and yoke of old family lace. Her veil of illusion was edged with a broad border of real lace and held to the hair by a circle of seed pearls and orange blossoms. She carried Calla lilies. The matron of honor wore flesh-colored chiffon, the maid of honor blue point d'esprit and the bridesmaid pale yellow point d'esprit, made long with skirts having full circular ruffles. They carried pink roses and lilies of the valley, tied with pale green tulle streamers. The bride entered with her father, to the "Bridal Chorus," from Wagner's "Lohengrin." Just before the ceremony Miss Marion Sabre sang "Because" and after the ceremony, "At Dawning," accompanied on the violin and at the organ by Miss Azelie Hamlin and Mr. Max Pinsky. At the reception at the home of the bride's parents, the decorations were of palms, ferns and cut flowers and on the table in the dining room was a silver basket filled with pink peonies, and pink lighted tapers in silver holders. Mrs. Fluker was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Richardson, mother of the bridegroom, by Mrs. Johnston Armstrong, Miss Shirley Stearns, Mrs. Charles Butler Maguire and Mrs. A. D. Briggs, and by members of the bridal party. Mrs. Fluker wore a gown of white chiffon and Mrs. Richardson beige-colored chiffon.

- 10 November 1930, Times Picayune (N.O., LA) - The marriage of Miss Mary Ross LeBourgeois, daughter of Mrs. Joseph LeBourgeois, to Mr. John Benjamin Richardson, son of Mrs. Lew Johnson Richardson of this city was celebrated Sunday evening, at 6:30 o'clock, at the family home on Milan street, with only the immediate members of the two families attending the ceremony, which was performed by Monseigneur Kavanaugh, of Our Lady of Lourdes church. The wedding, though a small affair, claimed much interest here and elsewhere in Louisiana, where both families are well known. The bride, who has never been formally introduced, and who is a general favorite in younger circles, is one of an attractive group of sisters, including Miss Margaret LeBourgeois, Mrs. Earl Sigur and Mrs. Eugene A. Sheehan. Mr. Richardson is also a favorite in younger circles and has a host of friends here. The ceremony which was celebrated on the wedding anniversary of the bride's mother, took place at one end of the living room before a background of white chrysanthemums and palms on either side of which stood tall cathedral candlesticks in brass holding cream-colored tapers. The room was entirely illuminated by candle light and upon the mantle was an exquisite pair of crystal candelabra and heirloom in the bride's family. Miss LeBourgeois, who was given in marriage by her mother, was very lovely in an empire gown of white satin made with the high-waisted bodice trimmed with old family lace and short puffed sleeves also edged with the lace. The long, close-fitting skirt was trimmed with a deep lace flounce, caught here and there with orange blossoms and fell into a long train. The veil of illusion was held in place by a cap of lace trimmed in the back with a band of orange blossoms and on each side of the forehead with a small cluster of the blossoms. She carried an old-fashioned bouquet of lilies of the valley and lavender orchids. Mrs. LeBourgeois wore a gown of pink satin made on princess lines, with slippers to match and carried pink roses and lilies of the valley. The only attendant on the bride was her sister, Mrs. Eugene A. Sheehan, who acted as matron of honor and who wore nile green satin with nile green satin slippers and carried pink roses. The little flower girl was the bride's niece, Mary Ellen Sheehan. She wore a Kate Greenway frock of pale pink voile and carried an old-fashioned bouquet of pink rosebuds. Little Earl Sigur, nephew of the bride, acted as ring-bearer. Mr. Richardson had as his best man and only attendant his uncle, Dr. William Richardson. The bridal party entered the room to the strains of Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" from "Lohengrin," and just before the ceremony Miss Shirley Stearns, cousin of the bridegroom, sang "Oh Promise Me" and during the signing of the register "At Dawning." She was accompanied on the violin by Mr. Eblen Rau. Following the ceremony there was an informal reception at which only near relatives and intimate friends were entertained. Receiving with Mrs. LeBourgeois, mother of the bride, were Mrs. Richardson, mother of the bridegroom, who wore beige-colored chiffon and a corsage bouquet of pink roses, and Mrs. Earl Sigur and Miss Margaret LeBourgeois. Mrs. Sigur wore white chiffon, with rhinestone trimmings, and Miss LeBourgeois ecru-colored silk lace. The young couple are now on a motor trip to Florida and upon their return will be at home in an apartment at No. 2713 Soniat street. Miss Lucille LeBourgeois, an aunt of the bride, came from her home in Kansas City, Mo., to attend the wedding.

Notes for Lew Johnson:
- Wedding: New Orleans Item, Saturday, 10 November 1894 - One of the handsomest "Chrysanthemum Weddings" that ever occurred in this city was that of Miss Lew Johnston, daughter of Mr. Lewis Johnston, and Mr. John P. Richardson, Jr. It occurred at the Church of the Annunciation on Wednesday evening. The decorations at the church were confined to palms and Puritan chrysanthemums. Their soft, white, full velvety beauty shone like gleaming white stars amid the green foliage. The ushers, Messrs Wm. McLellan, Charles Buck, Charles Thorn, Walter Underhill, Arthur Jacobs and E. P. Hubbell, wore clusters of Puritan chrysanthemums as bontonniers, as did the groomsmen, Mr. Warren Johnson and Charles Knight. The groom and his best man awaited the bride at the altar, chrysanthemum knighted. The church was crowded beyond standing capacity, to the limit of entrance, by the most distinguished people of the city. The organ rendered soft, low melodies while awaiting the bridal party. It pealed forth the triumphant notes of the Lohengrin Wedding March as the arrival of the bride was announced, the choir taking up the refrain, sang with magnificent effect, "Faithful and True." As the groom received his bride from her father's hands the song ceased - and merged into a soft, low violin obligato - shaded by Mr. Henry Wehrman's bow. The soft cadence of melody made deeply impressive the beautiful marriage ceremony of the Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. Percival officiating. The bride was gowned in a brocaded silk so heavily outlined with chrysanthemums that it had the effect of flowers loosely scattered over satin. An illusion bridal veil accentuated the effect. The bridal bouquet was fashioned of fine pure white Puritan chrysanthemums. The maid of honor - Miss Ada Richardson, and the bridesmaids, Miss Annie Woodward and Miss May Fallou wore frocks of etherial beauty. French silk organdy of illusion web was accordion pleated and worn over white satin slips. The undulating, wavering beauty of the gowns was enthusiastically admired. The maids carried large clusters of Puritan chrysanthemums. After the church ceremony a bridal banquet was enjoyed at the residence of the bride's parents by the bridal party and a number of intimate friends. The bride and groom departed on Thursday morning for a bridal tour. On their return they will establish themselves in a beautiful cottage home on Soniat street, between Camp and Chestnut streets. Mrs. Richardson will be at home to her friends on Tuesdays, after November 20th.
