Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-19

history has there been so magnificent
a wedding where every accessory was
of the best and every appointment was
perfect as at the Guyer-Ford wedding
which occurred last evening at All
Saints church. Not only is the lovely
young bride of one of the best known
and wealthiest families of Altadena,
but the groom belongs to the we'll
known Ford family, which is a name to
conjure with as to influence, position
and wealth. Over a thousand invita-
tions were issued for the ceremony at
the church, All Saints on North Euclid
avenue. Here the decorations were all
of white and green, to correspond with
the color scheme of the entire wedding.
Quantities of rare white Bermuda lilies
were used in profusion to grace the en-
tire church, being massed about the
altar with long graceful strands of as
paragus plumosus ferns, fianked by
scores of handsome potted ferns, palms
and rare plants. Here from the time
of the opening of the doors the car
riages of fashion left their occupants,
gowned in the latest beautiful crea-
tions- of the modistes. The ushers of
the evening were: Edward Gronendyke,
Don McGilvray, Volney Craig, Andrus
Wotkyns, Marshall Wotkyns of Pasa
dena, Barbee Hook and Tom Rife of
Los Angeles. To the soft music of the
organ the many guests were seated,
and promptly at eight, as the trium-
phant strains of the wedding march
sweled and throbbed to the doors, the
bridal procession came slowly up the
central aisle, At the entrance of the
chancel the officiating clergyman, Rev.
William MacCormack, with the groom
and his best man, Cloyde Guyer, were
met by the fair young bride and her
matron of honor, Mrs. Edward Groen-
endyke. The bridesmaids, Misses Lila
Lett of Riverside, Marian McGilvray
and Angie Holmes of Pasadena, Mar
garet Lee, Harriet Severance, Alice
Gwynne and Sarah Booth of Los An
seles, followed by the ushers, formed
the remainder of the pretty bridal pro-
cession. At the entrance of the chan

magnificent reception was given the
young people at the GuyeF home, which
is one of the most beautiful in Alta
