POPULAR YOUNG PEOPLE
UNITED IN MARRIAGE
Nice ReuIah Church and Rev. V. E.
Marriott are Principals i'm Charm
\ ing Home Wedding

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. H. Church was the scene of
charming home wedding Tuesday
evening, August 9th, when their
daug ghter Beulah, was united in
marriage with Rev. Victor E. Mar
riott. Only the relatives and a few
friends witnessed the ceremony
which, while lacking the formality
attending a large wedding, was
most impressive and perfect in every
detail. Rev. F. V. Hoyt, a close
friend of Mr.. Marriott, spoke the
words which joined these two lives,
being assisted in the service by Rev.
W. P. Osgood, a long time friend Of
the BRIDES family.
In honor of the occasion the home
had been transformed into a bower
Of flowers and greenery, both fow-
ers and the beautiful arrangement
being the gift of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
V. Hoyt. In the reception hall
and living room, pink and white as
ters, sweet peas and the feathery
Centaurea were most beautifully
mingled with ferns, smilax and
chiffon drapery, while in the din
ing room the color scheme was in
yellow and white.
At the appointed hour, half past
eight, to the strains of the wedding
march from Lohengrin, played by
Mr.. Van Norsdall, accompanied by
Miss Rosella Hamilton at the piano,
the bride and groom entered, pre-
ceded by the ministers, and attend
ed only by the BRIDES niece, little
Miss Wilma Hoyt, who as flower
girl, strewed sweet peas in their
pathway. The bride was most
charming in her gown of white null
beautifully hand embroidered, and
carried shower boquet of bridal
roses. Standing under an arch of
flowers and green, the vows were
spoken, the ring service being used.
Immediately after the guests had
greeted the newly welded pair, all
repaired to the dining room, where
ice cream, cake, coffee and mints
were served.
The hour which followed was
most informal, the bride and groom
mingling with the guests, speaking
the good-byes, which gave the one
touch Of sadness to the occasion, for
all knew that these young people
were to make their home elsewhere.
Much merriment was occassioned
by the attempt on the part of the
few young people present, to cap
ture the BRIDES boquet, which she
tossed to them as she passed up the
stairway, the fortunate captor being
supposed to win thereby the assur-
ance of being the next to wed.
The general good wishes of all
present, as we'll as many others,
were attested by the many beauti-
ful gifts, and by the pre-nuptial
events at which Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
mott were guests of honor.
The bride and groom have a host
