WILLIS-HARRISON.
New Smyrna (Fla.) Daily News.
In the presence of the immediate
relatives and a few friends of the
contracting parties, the simple cere
mony uniting in marriage Miss Clau
delle Willis, of Damascus, Ga., and
this city, and Grady Harrison, of
Gainesville, was performed Wednes
day afternoon, June 4, at the First
Baptist church by the pastor, Rev.
B. D. Law.
A color scheme of pink and white
with a background of green was ef
fectively carried out in the decora
tions of the church. An arch of
palms was arranged above the altar
with a profusion of pink and white
oleanders gracefully arranged on
either side. The bridal party enter
ed the church to the sti-ains of
Lohengrin’s wedding march played
by Mrs. Max Massey, who continued
to play softly during the reading of
the ceremony. The bridesmaid, Miss
Susie Willis, sister of the bride, came
down the center aisle, and was fol
lowed by the bride, who was escorted
to the altar by her brother-in-law,
O. L. Bridges, who gave her in mar
riage. The bridegroom, attended by
his brother, Dillon Harrison, of the
United States navy, entered from
the side, the bride and bridegroom
meeting at the altar under the arch
of palms, where the simple ring
ceremony was performed.
The bride was dressed attractively
in an embroidered flesh net gown,
fashioned in tight fitting bodice and
full long skirt. She wore a large
lace hat of the same shade, and flesh
tinted brocade slippers. A sapphire
and crystal necklace, gift of the
bridegroom, added to the attractive
ness of her costume. She carried
an arm bouquet of pink radiance
roses. The bridesmaid wore a dainty
blue chiffon dress with close fitting
hat and other accessories to match.
Her flowers were also pink radiance
i roses.
The bride and bridegroom left
soon after the ceremony for a motor
trip around the state and will later
return to Gainesville, where both
will attend the state university sum
mer school. The bride traveled in a
suit of blue crepe with accessories
to match.
The bride is the daughter of Jos
eph E. Willis, of Damascus, Ga., and
came here four years ago to teach
in the public schools, which position
she has held since. She received her
education for a teacher in the state
normal college at Athens, Ga. While
living in New Smyrna she has made
her home with her sister, Mrs. O. L.
Bridges, two others sisters, Miss
Susie and Miss Loyce, who are also
teachers, living there, too.
Mr. Harrison is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. D. Harrison, of Ocala,
and is now completing his college
course at the University of Florida.
He is a member of Kappa Phi Kap
pa fraternity, a professional educa
tional fraternity, ar.d is now holding
the office of president. Besides his
university work he is also employed
at the postofi'ice in Gainesville, and
expects to be located in that city for
the present.
Mr. Harrison has visited in New
Smyrna a number of times, and both
he and Mrs. Harrison have a large
circle of friends who extend them
congratulations and good wishes for
the future. Many friends and school
patrons will regret that Mrs. Harri
son will not return here to teach
next year, although she intends to
continue in the teaching profession.
Several showers were given in her
honor prior to her marriage.
