ME Rives and the late Mr.. j. U.
Rives, and Mr.. Thomas Benjamin

A beautiful scene awaited the
throng of interested friends who
gathered at the church. Traceries Of
asparagus in graceful festoons out
lined the entire wood work Of the
church and the electric lights shown
through airy white tulie.
A garden scene was exquisitely car
ried out on the rostrum, June gar
den scene where beauty and love
idealized each pretty detail.
On either side of the rostrum were
white lattice gates, white lattice
work forming the back ground of the
scene.
Palms, ferns and blossom-covered
hydrangeas made of the garden a
fairyland. On symmetrical gate posts
were Louis baskets filled with fern
fronds and sprays of hydrangea.
In the center of the scene was the
altar, made of sheer white tulle,
hanked by baskets of hydrangea, at
the base being the satin pillow.
Over the betrothed couple tulle
basket of hydrangea showered with
sweet peas was suspended with
graceful asparagus and tulle gar
lands fashioned from it to opposite
points of the church.
Mrs. Mamie Norris Tillman presid-
ed at the pipe organ for charming
pre-nuptial concert which included
"Barcarolle," "La Belle Mutt" from
"Tales of Hoffman" with orchestra
accompaniment by Mrs. Leon War
rem, Mrs. Walter Cantelou and Miss
Lois Minis.
A vocal solo, "At Dawning" was
beautifully rendered by Mr.. W. A.
Huey, the gifted vocalist from Green
wood, who has sung his way into
Edgefeld's heart.
Mrs. A. R. Nicholson's rich soprano
voice was lovely in "Beauty's Eyes"
Schubert's "Serenade," as an or
gan solo with accompanying parts
by the gifted trio of orchestral mu-
sicians, was delightful number:
Mr.. Huey's voice again thrilled
the audience in his solo, "Until," and
Mrs. Nicholson sung sweetly "Stille
Vie che Nacht" with violin obligato
by Miss Lois Minis.
Schunann's "Traumerei," organ
mad orchestra, was followed by Lo--
hengrin's Bridal Chorus" beautiful
ly rendered by Mrs. M. B. Tucker,
Mrs. A. R. Nicholson, Mr.. H. M.
Reynolds and Mr.. j. G. Holland, an
nouncing in sweetest melody the aus
picious moment.
The first of the bridal party to en-
ter were the ribbon girls, in their be-
coming frocks of pink organdie and
tulle, their adorable organdie hats
filled with pink sweet peas, shower
of the blossoms being IN the pink
tulle trimmings, who untying the
ribbons across the aisles, ascended
the rostrum and opening the pictur-
esque gates, took their places on eth
er side. Little Sarah and Annie Mich
olson came in together down one
aisle, as Helen Dunovant and Pick
ems Greneker of Augusta, came down
the opposite aisle.
They were followed by the ushers,
who came singly down the opposite
aisles and took their places in the
