WARRICK—TOOMER NUPTIALS
Solemn beauty permeated the atmosphere as nuptial rites
were held for Jean Elizabeth Warrick and Clarence Douglas
Toomer on December 27th at 6:30 in historic Beth-Eden Bap¬
tist Church with the pastor, the Rev. Levi M. Moore offici¬
ating. The Gothic Beauty of the church was enhanced by
garlands of Christmas greenery draped about the gallery and
entwined around the columns. White mums and a sprig of
holly tied with huge white satin bows marked the reserved
section. The rostrum was banked with palms and branched
candelabras held gleaming tapers. Marie Antionette baskets
of white chrysanthemums and gladioli flanked either side of
the platform at the base of the pulpit where the vows were
repeated.
Mrs. C. M. Wells, organist, with Miss Rosemary Johnson,
Mr. Robert C. Long and Mrs. Frank Simpson presented a
program of wedding music. “The Lord’s Prayer” by Malotte
was sung by Miss Johnson, “Because” by D’Hardelot was ren¬
dered by Mr. Long and Mrs. Simpson sang “I Love You Truly”
by Carrie Jacobs Bond, the same selection she had sung at
her aunt’s wedding which took place years ago.
The bride was escorted by her cousin Mr. Frank Simpson
to Albany, N. Y., who served in place of her brother, John War¬
rick, Jr., who was delayed because of plane difficulties. She'
was a picture of loveliness in, her wedding gown of duchess
satin with a deep yoke of Chantilly lace that extended into
a broad panel to the hemline in front and a similar panel in
the back through the center of the long flowing train. Sat¬
in covered buttons fastened the long pointed sleeves at the
wrist. The tight fitting bodice joined the full skirt with a
narrow row of corded satin. Her finger tip veil of three tiers
of illusion was held in place with a tiara of orange blossoms
and pearls. Her only ornament was a rhinestone pendant with
matching earrings, a gift of her late father to her mother on
the occasion, of their 25th Anniversary. She carried a satin
covered Bible on which was a white orchid with a bridal cir¬
cle of stephanotis. bride, maid of

The bride’s attendants were back and
dresses made with boat shaped necklines in a

graceful folds over hoop skirts. They wore halos of match-
