The bride, entering the church on the arm of her father, was beautifully attired in a floor-length gown of white sheer and floor-length veil of Tulle. Her bouquet was of pink delight roses and fern.

Mrs. T. B. Johnson was matron of honor wearing a floor-length dress of romance blue sheer, with pink chapel veil. She carried a colonial bouquet of carnations, roses and sweet peas.
