The Second Baptist church of 1slesboro
was the scene of very pretty wedding
Monday, Aug. Is at II o'clock which
was filled with friends and relatives,
when the marriage of Prentiss Carl
Preble of Hampden and Miss Emerald
Ethelyn Boardman of Islesboro was SOL
emnized by Rev. Horace l. Holt of Cam
den. The bride entered the church to
the strains of Lohengrin's wedding
march played by Reginald Boardman,
cousin of the bride, and leaning on the
arm of Carl S. Preble, father of the
groom, who gave her away. She was
attended by her sister, Miss Edith Board
man, as bridesmaid, and they were pre-
ceded by two little flower girls, the
Misses Gwendolyn and Barbara Hatch of
Philadelphia, Pa, who strewed flower
petals up the aisle to the chancel. The
groom. attended by his brother, Cecil
Ryder Preble as best man, met the bride
at the altar, where the Rev. Mr.. Holt
united them in marriage, using the
double ring Episcopal service in a very
impressive manner. The bride was attir-
ed in beautiful white gown of georgette
over white satin, trimmed with filet an
tiaue lace and orange blossoms, with bril-
dial veil of white net caught with orange
blossoms, carrying a shower bouquet of
delicate pink roses and ferns. The
bridesmaid was gowned in Nile green Or
candle, with picture hat of white geor-
gette crepe, carrying shower bouquet
of pink sweet peas and ferns. The flow
er girls, carrying their baskets of petals,
were very dainty in pale pink and blue
dresses. The church was very beauti-
fully and lastly decorated by Cecil R.
Preble, assisted by Mrs. Tom Barton,
using white phlox, golden roo and ferns.
The ushers were Messrs. Alfred Decker,
Theodore Hatch, Ernest Crosby and
Raymond Pendteton. Miss Boardman's

by Miss Madeline Dodge. Immediately

TEEN in which the BRIDE is held and the
popularity of the groom. They left In
