Baker and Miss Evie Hall. The
church had been made truly beau
tiful by loving hands, myriad pink
candles shed their soft glow over
pink roses tied with white tulle on
trellises of white, all tending to Gre
ate scene to make Cupid smile over
the results of that net which he
only knows so well how to weave.
The day awoke amid the beauty
and splendor of "a lovely Spring."
AS the darkness receded before the
rays of the sun, the birds flew from
their hidings to sing a new song of
praise, the flowers seemingly gave
forth a special fragrance and there
was special blending of those trans
cendent beauties of nature which be-
speak the glory of the Creator and
HIS benevolence to humanity-all
these things appeared to conspire to
add their benedictions to the day and
to speak encouragingly to the two
young hearts that had loved each
other even from mere childhood and
who on that morning were to pro-
claim to the world their vows and
that they had plighted their faith to
travel life's sea together.
The church was early filled with
Grenada beauty and chivalry-hearts
and minds ever interested in those
who love and whose love fruits in
marriage. While waiting for the ar
rival of the bridal party a beautiful
program of prenuptial music was
rendered. Miss Esther Broadstreet,
organ and Miss Kliser, violin, while
Miss Katherine Tucker sang "All for
You" and Miss Margaret Moody, 81
Love You" To the strains of the
wedding march the ushers entered by
twos from opposite sides of the
church. Virgil Wright and Sam Hall
Garner and George Garner and Joe
Meaders.
Following the ushers came singly
first Miss Heard Lawrence, maid and
opposite her John Pressgrove,
groomsman, then Miss Mary Meek
Baker, and Malcolm Lawrence, Miss
Ruth Stokes and Donald Sharp. Just
preceding the bride came two dear
little flower girls with large baskets
of pink roses, Margaret Trusty and
Isabel Bailey and then the little cou-
sin Of the bride, dainty, petete Cora
Lou Majet, just three years old, and
playing the part of ring bearer, with
consumate grace. AS all grouped
about the altar, the strains Of music
softer grew and entering from oppo-
site aisles came the groom with his
best man, Mr. Harper Hughes and
the bride with her sister, Miss Louise
Hall as her honor maid. They met
at the altar and there the beautiful
ring service was said in an impressive
manner by the man of God, Rev. J.
R. Cunningham.
The maids were dressed in ruffled
frocks of pink and blue organdy with
picture hats to match and carried
arm bouquets of sweet peas. The
flower girls had dresses to match
those Of the maids, while the ring
bearer wore ruffled white organdy.
The brides gown was white duchess
satin embroidered in pearls with long
court train, while the tulle veil was
caught in cap shape on her dainty
head with orange blossoms.
