Wednesday evening, October
25, 1922, saw the consummation
of the marriage engagement be
tween-Miss Susie Mae Sims and
Mr. Robert Williams. At eight
thirty the bridal" party entered
the chain of automobiles that a-
waited them and crossed the river
to Monnt Zion M. E. Church, two
hundred yards away. Without
delay Mrs. O. V. Wilson, played
the march of Mendelsshon as the
soldierly six foot groom, resting
on the arm of Mr. Thomas Moody,
came forward, following the ad
vance of little Cecilia Wilson, the
flower girl. Following them by
the space of sixty seconds, array
ed in a costume of white canton
crepe, trimmed with white satin,
a silk net veil covering her face,
and bearing a bouquet of white
chrysanthemums the “teasing
brown-skinned” bride advanced
gracefully to meet her biidegroom.
The solemn ceremony was read by
(he Rev. Dr. J. H .Horton, and at
the end of it Susie M. Simms who
marched in an agile, attractive
’mademoiselle, had become a win
some, comely madam, hencefor
ward to be styled: “Mrs. Susie
Mae Williams.”
The bridal party who, aside
from the bride and groom, was
composed of Miss Louise Williams
of Atlanta, Miss Mary Mickens,
of Commerce, Miss Della Edwards,
of Athens, the best man and the
little flower giri, then returned to
the bride’s home at 499 River
street, where a mighty throng of
friends and well-wishers greeted
them. Quite a few white friends
of the family were there.
Mr. and Mrs. Simms, the par
ents of the bride, served a sump
tuous repast of sliced ham, sweet
pickles, chicken salad on lettuce
leaves, several varieties of pound
and layer cake, vanilla and cho
colate ice cream and punch.
The house was decorated with
ferns and chrysanthemums—and
