Greatest Social Event of the Season
Last Night in Vine Covered
Church on Watauga Ave


has commanded so much attention as
the marriage last night of Miss Marion
Louise Friberg to Mr.. Ebert Haynes
Miller. The Watauga Avenue Presby
terrain Church was filled,with magnifi
cent audience of select society friends
of the popular contracting parties. The
vine-covered house of God was thing
of beauty inside. The decorations were
superb and the flood of light was re,
fiected in the bright faces of the lovely
women present. The altar was forest
Of potted plants of all kinds and sizes.
In front was white arch held in place
by uncovered wires extending to the
walls, from which were suspended
baskets of sweet peas. From the arch
hundreds of punches of violets were
suspended by white satin ribbons. Be-
meath this floral arch and with the vio-
let's almost touching their heads two
loving hearts were authorized to beat
as one.
The audience was admitted by card
and was seated by Ushers Horace,
Frank and Will Miller and Will John
son, and while it was assembling sew
eral choice selections were rendered by
the choir, Miss Lucille McCown pre-
siding at the organ, accompanied by
Mrs. s. E. Miller and Lonnie McCown
on the violin. Mrs. Grace Hart Nc
Calm also very pIeasingly rendered
appropriate vocal selections.
Promptly at o'clock the wedding
march resounded throughout the edi-
flee, carrying many back over vista
of happy years to a similar occasion in
their lives, and Rev. Dayton Dobbs
came slowly down the right aisle and
took up his place just back of the we'd
ding arch. Then came the ushers,
Will and Frank Miller, one in each
aisle, and crossing in front took up
their places on either side. Next came
Will Johnson and Horace Miller. The
bridesmaids and groomSmen followed
alternately. Misses Mary and Mable
Gildersleeve came first and were fol-
lowed by Charlie Biddle and Ward
Friberg. Misses Amy Ward and Emily
Miller came next and were followed
by II. L. Prosser and Dave Miller.
The matrons were next, Mrs. Horace
Burleson and Mrs. Charles Biddle, and
were followed by Dir. S. r. Miller and
Horace Burleson. The matron of honor,
Mrs. Jennie Rice, glided down the
aisle alone and when she had taken
her place the groom and his best man,
his brother, w. w. Miller, came down
on the left and the bride, upon the arm
of her father, came slowly down on the
right, and meeting the groom at the
arch took his arm and the two turned
and faced the minister, Mr. Friberg
taking seat.
The ceremony was one of the most
beautiful ever spoken in this city, Rev.
Dobbs being particularly happy and
impressive in his sermonette upon the
marriage relation. During the ceremo-
ny Mrs. Miller rendered a quaint and
beautiful violin solo that filled the
church with music like the essence of
dream.
The bride, always lovely, was mag
nificent last night in her queenly beau
ty. She wore gown of white satin
with real lace and jewel trimming and
her veil was caught up by real orange
blossoms and diamond crest, the gift
of the groom. She carried shower
boquet of orchids, lilies of the valley
and maiden hair ferns.
Mrs. Rice, the matron of honor, wore
o becoming gown of lavender crepe
metre with real lace and jewel trim
ming and carried a shower boquet of
lilies of the valley and violets.
Mrs. Horace Burleson wore a white
satin gown trimmed in real lace and |
carried a posy boquet of maiden hair
ferns and violets.
Mrs. Charles BiddIe's gown was
white satin with jewel trimming and |
she carried a posy boquet of maiden
hair ferns and violets.
The bridesmaids were charmingly
gowned in lavender crepe metre with
jewel trimming and carried huge silver
baskets filled with maiden hair ferns
and violets.
The gentlemen all wore boutonnieres
Of lilies of the valley and maiden hair
ferns.
The attractiveness of the decorations
at the church was largely due to the
use of southern smilax.
After the ceremony a reception was
given at the home of the bride on
Unaka avenue and large number of
friends attended. 1t was an elaborate
affair. The home was dream in its
making fairyland seem an
die boast. Brides roses were every
where and the color scheme of white
md lavender was charmingly carried ,
nut. The chandeliers were draped with
arge fluffy bows Of white and lavender {
