The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-10

A wedding in which Birmingham society
has been interested for some time, took
place last night at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Marshall Jerome Gregg when their
daughter. Miss Luetta Gregg, became the
bride of Mr.. A. NJ. Taylor of Greenville
Tenn.
Several hundred guests witnessed the
vows, which We're read by the Rev. Dr.
John Foster, pastor of the First Presby-
terian church. The Gregg residence on
Sycamore street, one of the handsomest
in that section of the Highlands, was
beautifully decorated for the occasion
the delicate draperies of smilax and elus-
ters of white noses and lilies having been
placed by the hands of expert, who un-
derstood the danger of concealing the
tasteful interior of the rooms in too elab-
crate a scheme, and placed his roses
and greenery only where roses and green
cry were appropriate.
The wedding ceremony was solemnzed
in the large living room which, like the
remainder of the house had only white
blossoms. The aftar was placed in front
of the broad, now mantel which was en-
tirely hidden by the large palms and
long ivory box filled with white blos-
SONS. At either side stood brass seven
branched candelabrsa filled with white
tapers.
The living room and drawing room
which are on opposite sides of the house
are separated by a broad central hall
With the sliding doors thrown back this
formed an exceptionally large space for
the wedding guests. The family party
stood in the living room which was di-
vided from the hall by tulle ropes, held
by the first glnoomsmen.
Gen Frank Maloney of Greenvine and
Col. Fred il. Phillips of Chattanooga were
tine first groomsmen to descend the stair

Miss Cora Gregg, thet brides debutante
sister. was her maid of honor. In a white
charmeuse robe gracefully trimmed with
princesse lace, and with penrls and rhine
stones introduced into t;he garnitures OF
the corsage, she was a radiant vision
of happy girlhood Like the other young
women attending Miss GTegs, she carried
Beauty roses.
Wearing the gown In which she was a
bride five years ago, Mrs. Robert Inger-
sol ingalls, attended her sister matron
of honor. Her gown is unchanged and
in this day of scant skirts and clinging
materials, the heavy duchesse satin of
which it was built, in a fashion which

quaint. 1t was worn with q. charming air,
