 The bridal party formed a group about
 the altar; the ushers and groomsmen standing within the ehance, the bride groom and his bride and her attendants just above them. The ceremony was pro- nounced by the Rev Dr Preston Blake, pastor of the church. In the background
 were handsome palms. and smaller plants
 of luxurious green; among stood pale lilies in high standards white as snow
 against the green. The nuptial group,
 with it's background of flowers; the bril-
 liant lights beamipg from ornate chande- Hers above, the fashionable assemblage sitting in rich attire in pews marked with clusters of Easter lilies and ferns,
 presented a bridal picture too lovely to be soon forgotten.
 As the bridal party emerged from the
 church, Mendelssohn's wedding march
 was played. And the last tones of the | recessional merged with the sound Of fast departing carriages and motors con veying the hundreds eager to go from the wedding to the Country club, where the
 reception was held.
 The reception was a brilliant post
 nuptial function attended by over 390 friends of the two families. The connec- ton is an especially large one on the grooms sde-since he is member of pio-
 neer Jefferson county family of promi-
 hence, including among it's branches the
 Mudds, the Jordans, the Walkers, the
 Worthingtons and others of local influ-
 ence. Both young people, aside from be-
 ing members of prominent and influential
 families are especially popular in the
 younger set, so that the guests even though numbering so many, were limited in number
 The bridal party and Mrs. Florence F.
 Buck, the grooms molneT, stood with
 MT. and Mrs Kinney in the alcove of the club to welcome the guests. The foliage and flowers, and the many little lights which glistened among them made
 handsome background for the party.
 MT. and Mrs. Kinney were most gracious in their hospitality. Mrs. Kinney wore a handsome reception gown of hand- painted chiffon and satin embellished on the corsage with real lace. Tt was a softly tinted combination of gray and rose tint, to give the faintest pastel tint, and was
 most becoming. Mrs. Buck, the groom's
 mother, who has always been considered
 one of Alabama's beautiful women, was
 accorded the admiration of every guest
 at church and club She was wonderfully lovely and her robes were regal. Hand embroidered for her in the Orient. antici- pating the marriage of her son and de- signed to dignify the event. the soft blue of the skies and the dainty lavender of the wistaria blossom made it an artistic triumph. The gown was made of the blue
 Japanese silk, with a rich embroidered
 motif of wistaria. Caught up at the side, if displayed petticoat drapery of wistaria chiffon and again in the corsage the wis
 taria chiffon was introduced. The sleeves
 were fashioned of cobwebby laces outlined
 in rhinestones and the lace was again introduced in the skirt. A coronet of
 brilliants,, with blue aigrette formed her | inaxf 41p AIrc Rf-aft
 lette Gray, Mrs Bucks sister, was also
 magnificently gowned. Her robe-import- ed lowered crepe, was embroidered to her | order in Japan. Big pink roses and leaves were heavily embroidered in the skirt and | corsage.
 l A drapery of pink chiffon was an artis- | tic touch emphasized by the profusion of
 rose point lace used in the sleeves, the
 corsage and to fall to the hem of the skirt in a side drapery Another lovely woman who is a member of the bride sroom's family-Mrs. J. Rivers Carter
 was especially noted at the reception Her gown especially becoming. Made of lowered chiffon over white messaline, the
 sheen of the fabric emphasized the tint of the pink roses painted in the border.
 A touch of black gave character and be- comingness. Mrs. Henry A. Coats of Gin cinnati, the guest of Mrs. Kinney, was one of the interesting visitors She wore
 becoming lace gown frightened with crystal garnitures. MT. E. P. Marlborough of Greensboro was another out of town guest
 A delicious supper was served from the club buffet. In the private dining room, where the brides cake reposed on beautifully appointed table, the ,decora- tions were especially handsome. From the
 chandelier hung a canopy of roses and
 lilies of the valley. Fancy bonbons in wedding bell shape and otherwise prettily
 decorated surrounded the cake, which stood three feet in height and was
 marvel of decorative achievement in itself | with its hand painted orchids and its lilies. | The punch table stood in the sun parlor, where flowers and foliage were used with 1 tasteful effect. This was also the apart
 ment in which the coffee table was sta- | toned
