years. Dig picture names packeo
ist Episcopal church while Rev
Willsie Martin read the ritual.
Three blocks of fashionable Will
shire boulevard were roped off and
traffic police fought to keep back
q surging, pressing crowd of more
than 1000 curious, who gathered
long before the ceremony began.
Miss Macdonald made a spec
tacular entrance. Pale and alone
in a wedding gown of pink mousse
line over flesh pink taffeta she
swept down the center aisle after
the groom and his party had ap-
preached the alter. The organ
doomed the rumbling "Lohengrin'
march, and made the roses nod.
She was given in marriage by
her mother Mrs. Anna Macdonald,
who entered earlier and was led
to a front pew where she sat with
her third daughter, Elsie.
Both Raymond and Miss Mac
Donald appeared self assured,
even buoyant. Raymond's answers
TO the conventional questions were
firm and clear, although Miss Mac
Donald's were pitched in such a
low tone as to be barely audible
to the audience. The services we're
a half hour late in starting.
AS Mrs Macdonald was seated,
Nelson Eddy, perennial leading man
OF the blonde singer, launched his
tenor voice into the traditional
Il love you truly" Another bene-
diction song, Perfect Love-" fol-
lowed the prayer.
Chimes rang, and Raymond, his
brother and best man, Robert Mar
lowe, immaculate in white tie and
tails, entered with the minister
They were followed, two by two,
by the remainder of the bridal
party, Harold Lloyd. Allan Jones,
Johnny Mack Brown, Basil Rath-
bone, Richard Hargreaves and
Warren Rock.
After them in single file came
the brides attendants, Marie Blake
Mrs. Warren Rock)-MiSS Mac
Donald's sister-aS matron of hon
or, Fay Wray, Helen Ferguson, Gin
ger Rogers and Mrs. Johnny Mack
Brown.
Miss Macdonald wore a long
veil of pink tulle, and from her
shell-shaped lace cap fell a short
over-veil of the same material.
The matron of honor wore a
gown of pale blue mousselise, with
a three tier bouffant skirt, fitted
bodice, and draped neckline with
soft bow, over a plane blue Ro-
main slip. Over the dress was a
plane blue mousSeline dress length
coat with standing collar.
The brides attendants gowns
were of soft, pink frost crepe, fash
ioned Grecian style. Over them
they wore long coats of the same
stuff, small caps far back on the
head, and carried sprays of Joanna
Hill roses.
The church was lighted almost
entirely by Candelabra, from
stained glass window behind and
above the gilded alter dropped a
center piece of pale peach satin,
while on either size of the alter
rose high trellises covered with
roses. Choir stalls were festooned
similarly.
Three large candelabra lighted
the chancel, and at every seventh
pew stood tall. roSe-twined can
dlestick. A wide satin ribbon was
draped the length Of the center
aisle, and at each collonade along
the nave stood smaller rose trel-
lises.
The Mesdelssohn wedding march
followed the benediction, the party
leaving Immediately for the brides
home in Beverly Hills, where a
small reception was given for rela-
tives and close friends.
The huge crowd of curious, push
ing but good -natured, cheered lust

from the church into the glare OF
news cameramen'S flash bulbs. The
Crowd slowed the bridal party S
limousines as they drew away from
the church.
Miss MacDonald's gift to her
bridegroom was a diamond and
platinum full dress set. Raymond
presented his bride with a simply
