Mrs. Lawrence Anderson Perkins, of
the same city, but formerly of Talla-
hassee. Both bride and groom have
many Pensacola friends, who will read
the account Of their wedding with
much interest.
The Jacksonville Metropolis says Of
the wedding:
The church was exquisitely decorat-
ed for this happy occasion in a>color
motif of green and white, effectively
carried out with quantities of palms
and ferns in the chancel, while on
the altar vases of fragrant lilies and
lighted tapers alternated.
Miss Alice Corbett presided at the
organ and rendered delightful pro-
gram Of appropriate music, while
the many friends and relatives Of
the young couple gathered to witness
their vows.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
bridal chorus from Lohengrin herald
ed the approach of the wedding party.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen
walked first, Miss Julia Patton, of
Gainesville, with Mr.. Laurens Pierce;
Miss Jean Stockton with Mr.. Niels
Becker, and Miss Dorothy Toomer
with Mr.. William Girardeau. The
maid of honor, Miss Priscilla Brob-
ston, the brides sister, came next
walking alone. The bride entered on
the arm of her brother, Mr.. Stanley
Brobston, who gave her in marriage,
and they met the groom and his best
man, his cousin, Mr.. Ned Chesley, of
Tallahassee, at the altar, where the
impressive ceremony was performed
by the Rev. j. Lindsay Patton.
The bride was radiant in her beau
tiful wedding gown of white crepe de
chine, fashioned most becomingly
with shocking on the skirt, giving
the high waist line, while. the trim
mings were Of filmy chantilly lace.
One side of the bodice was adorned
with orange blossoms and her tulle
veil, which fell to the end of her court
traine, was held in place with a
wreath of orange hanesams. Her
flowers were a bouquet of brides
roses with a shower of lilies of the
valley, and she wore a pretty pearl
and diamond brooch, the groom's gift.
Miss Brobston, the maid Of honor,
was charming in frock Of sheer
white organdie, fashioned with rows
of tiny ruffles on the skirt, while the
bodice was made with a net yoke
outlined in pearls and finished with
tiny frills. A wide white satin sash
with q butterfly bow in the back,
gave the finishing touch to this dainty
toilette. She carried an arm bou-
quet of brides roses.
The bridesmaids, Miss Toomer,
Miss Stockton and Miss Patton, were
dressed alike in pretty white organdie
frocks, the skirt being fashioned of
scalloped founces bound with white
satin and caught with white satin
roses. Fluffy white tulle botterfly
bows were fastened across the should
ers In the back with the ends reach
ing to the bottom Of the skirt and
their flowers were arm bouquets of
brides roses and ferns.
After their vows had been spoken
the happy couple, accompanied by
their attendants, relatives and few
intimate friends, drove to the home
of Rv. and Mrs. J. Lindsay Patton,
on Bars Terrace, where an informal
reception was held, instead of at the
Ortega home Of the bride, owing to
the impossible condition of the Orte-
ga bridge.
The entire lower floor Of this at
tractive home was transformed into q
bower Of greens and cut flowers, car
rying out a color motif of green and
white.
Palms, ferns and vines adorned the
reception room, living room and din
ing room.
The guests were received by the
bridal party and Mrs. Edwin Brob-
ston, mother of the bride; Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence A. Perkins, of ITALIA.
