On February 13-14, 1918, the men from Grandview, Upper Arlington, and Marble Cliff amused the tri-village community with a “womanless wedding.” The Grandview Brotherhood staged a mock wedding with an all-male cast as a community fundraiser. Both performances were sold out and deemed a huge success. An article from the March 1918 issue states, “The bride presented a stunning appearance in a white satin gown, carrying a shower bouquet of roses and lilies-of-the-valley. The lady guests present were envious of the willowy figure of the bride.”
