derfully resplendent in every detail.
The church was crowded to its
capacity with relatives and friends to
witness the marriage. Never before
was Grace church so beautifully orna-
mented. Quantities of ferns, huge
date palm leaves and smilax formed
the background decorations, while
many dozens of Easter lilies were
arranged in their stately beauty in
vases over the entire pulpit. At the
chancel was an imposing white cover
ed arch bearing cross at the top.
Preceding the ceremony the fol-
lowing musical program was render
ed by Miss Byrd Wartmann, the
church organist and one of the city's
most talented musicians:
Bridal Song (Goldmark).
(a) GavOtte (b) Parannel (Pere
Mareni.
Spring Song (Joses).
Lovers Greeting (Elgin.)
Lohengrin.
Mendelssohn.
Immediately upon the stroke of 8
o'clock, to the strains of the Bridal
Chorus from Lohengrin, the wedding
party entered the church from the
front. Messrs. Robert MacKay and
Carlisle Izlar marching down the mid
die aisle, took positions on opposite
sides of the chancel. Following in like
manner were Mr.. Philip Gail and Mr..
Whitfield Palmer. Then entered the
bridesmaids, Misses Onie Chazal and
Dorothy Hickman and Misses Caroline
Harriss and Blair Woodrow, each one
taking their positions by the grooms-
men preceding them.
The maid of honor. Miss Marie
Hickman, entered alone, taking her
position at the left of the chancel.
The beautiful bride entered with
her father, Mr.. Christian AK. and was
met at the foot of the aisle by the
groom and his best man, his brother,
Mr.. Edward P Anderson and the
minister, Rev. J. J. Neighbour.
The bride, who is naturally an ex-
ceedingly pretty young woman at all
times, was never lovelier than she
was last evening, her wedding night.
Without doubt she was one of the
most brilliantly happy and charming
brides ever seen in Ocala. She was
exquisitely gowned in deliberately en-
broidered tulle trimmed with pearls
and silver, over which was draped
white bridal satin and the handsome
court train gave a graceful air of
dignity. Handsome old point lace
which was worn by her grandmother,
Mrs. AK at her wedding, was the only
other trimming on this regal gown.
The brides wedding veil was her
mothers and was artistically arraflg-
ed on a point lace Russian cap, which
was most becoming. Orange bios
SONS were the decorations on the cap.
The only piece of jewelry worn by the
bride, beside her rings, was an i'm
mense diamond brooch, the wedding
gift of her father to her mother on
their wedding night.
The impressive Episcopal ring cere-
mony was read by the minister, after
which to the strains of Mendelssohn' 5
wedding march the bridal party left
church.
The four bridesmaids were all
gowned similarly. and each was pic
ture of loneliness. Their costumes
were exceedingly tasty. dainty and
becoming. They were fashioned OF

color motif throughout the wedding
Tiny fiuted ruffies were the main
trimmings. The hoop skirt was eff

which stood high on the back of the
neck was wonderfully becoming. Law

their costumes. Each bridesmaid car.

Miss Marie Hickman, the maid OF
honor, was extremely admired. Hel

From the church. the bridal party
relatives and a few friends were in
vited to the home of the bride, wher'
hours of the very happiest times
imaginable were spent. The AK home
which is one of the handsomest in thu
city, was a perfect dreamland las
evening with it's quantities of decora
tions of date palm leaves, smilax an'
asparagus fern banked in every con
eeivable place throughout the entir
lower floor. Lavendar and pink swee
peas and Killarney roses were extrav

viting appearance.
