being beautiful in it's simplicity. The
Bride clad in a gown of beautiful white

where an elegant wedding dinner was
served, the color scheme of the table
decorations being pink and white.
The bride was the recipient of many
gifts of worth as token of the high
esteem in which she is held by her
friends. She is an exemplary young
lady of exceptional worth, having spent
all her life in Decatur county, except
when at college or following her chosen
