AMERICAN BEAUTY WEDDING
WITH ORCHESTRAL MUSIC.
IN SWELL SOCIETY
Miss Willie Theo McWilliams and Mr.
John M. Graham,
RECEPTION AT THE BRIDE’S HOME
Church Crowded to Overflowing.—The
Music—Decorations at House—Hand
some Presents—Beautiful Costumes
Her air, her manners, all who saw admired;
Courteous, though Coy, and gentle, though re
tired
The joy of youth and health her e;es display’d
And ease of heart her every look convey’d
—Parish Register.
Fashion and beauty and chivalry of
Rome and other southern cities filled the
First Baptist church to overflowing last
night to witness the brilliant nuptials of
Miss Willie Theo McWilliams and Mr.
John Meredith Graham.
It is doubtful if ever a. wedding in
this church had as pretty a bride and
bridesmaids, or handsomer gentlemen
attendants, or as large and as stylishly
dressed an audience. It was truly an
“American beauty” gathering in other
ways than the reference to the celebrated
color. The scene of radiant beauty will
long be remembered by all so fortunate
as to witness it last night.
While the audience gathered and the
ushers—one, the mayor of the city and
another a former candidate for governor
of Georgia—were showing them seats,
music whiled away the time. The organ
presided over by Prof C. A. Thompson,
was re-inforced by Ford’s orchestra. The
selections rendered before tne cere
mony were a selection from ‘ ‘Martha, ’ ’
the “Bridal Rose overture” and'•Schu
bert’s Serenade. ’ ’
The decorations of the pulpit were
palms, ferns and pot plants and wreaths
of smilax, very artistically arranged. -
The expectant audience greatly enjoy
ed the musical selections, It was shortly
aftrrß.3o o’clock when the strains of
Mendelssohn’s wedding march sounded
and tjje bridal party entered.
The ushers who marched down the
aisle on the right in the order named were
Hon. Seaborn Wright, Mr. T. J. Simpson,
Mr, John Ramey and Mr. Sam Graham
while opposite them down the aisle on
the left proceeded Mr. Carlton
Wright, Hon. Mose Wright, Mayor
Samuel S. King and Mr. G. W. Camp
bell.
The bridesmaids all approached the
altar by the center aisle. They all stood
on the raised platform facing the audi
ence and the gentlemen just beneath
also, facing the people.
Misses Maynor Holmes and Mary Berry
were the first to enter accompanied by
Mr. Paul Black on the left aisle and
Mr. William McWilliams on the right.
The others Came in the following order:
Misses Celeste Ayer and Anna Graham,
of Tennessee, with Messrs. Langdon
Gammon and Bernie Hale.
Misses Clark, of Atlanta and Franc's
Berry with Messrs. Beau McWilliams
and Oscar McWilliams,
Misses Addie Wright and Sara Simp
son with Messrs. Tom Berry and Edgar
Graham, of Tennessee.
Misses Daisy Cheney and Edith Smith
with Messrs. Alex Bonneym-n and W. S.
Rowell. •
Last of all came the bride with her
maid of honor. Miss Linnie Thomas,
down the center aisle while the groom
and his best man, Mr. Horace E. King
approached with the same measured
tread down the west aisle.
It was a picturesque scene of bright
ness and beauty at the altar with the
crescent shaped group of attendants
and the bridal couple in the centre.
The ceremony was impressively per*
formed by Dr. R. B. Headden while
the soft strains of “Then Re
member Me” sounded on the air.
At the conclusion the entire party
led by the bride and groom marched
out by the center aisle. Tannhauser’s
wedding march was the music for the
recessional.
The bride’s gown was made of white
duchesse satin, trimmed in real Brussels
lace. The train was trimmed in ruffles
of chiffon and ribbbons and was of
extreme length, cut in court style. The
veil was the full length of the train. It
was caught in the hair with a tiara of
diamonds and cluster of lilies of the val
ley. Id her hand the bride carried a large
bouquet of lilies of the valley.
The bridesmaids’ gowns were of white
organdy over white satin with sashes of
American beauty color. They carried
bouquets of carnations of the same hue
as the sashes.
The maid of honor wore a gown of
green silk, trimmed with val inserting
and mousselaine de soie. She carried a
bouquet of white carnations.
Mrs. Graham has been a reigning
social favorite ever since her 'debut.

temporary dining room was constructed
at the northwest end of the residence.
It was decorated in white and green with
bunting of “American beauty” co'or
The draping of the smilax arranged by
a professional decorator from Atlanta was
very effective. The table was in the
shape of a four leaf clover With an im
mense mirror lake and it fairly groaned
under pyramids of fruits, flowers and
confections. The bridal party of thirty
two and Dr. R. B. Headden were first
seated at the table. The otjier guests
were then served. Tfle refreshments
were substantial, delicious and bountiful.
The scene in the dining room was as
beautiful as a dream of fairlyand and can
scarcely be pictured in cold, black type.
Each guest was presened with a small
monogram box of the wedding cake as a
souvenir.
Ford’s orchestra furnished the most
entrancing music throughout the even
ing.
The presents which were displayed in
the library opposite the parlor were num
erous ana beautiful and costly. One of
