Beautiful Outdoor Wedding Took
Place at Home of Bride's Par
ents Wednesday.
The home of Judge and Mrs. E.
J. Reagan on Spring Hill was the
scene of one of the most beautiful
weddings that ever took place in
McDonough, when, on Wednesday
evening, their daughter, Lucy,
was married to Mr. Hill Parks
Redwine, of Fayetteville.
Palms and ferns lent a tropical
appearance to the spacious lawn,
agleam with tiny electric lights.
Beneath arches erected in bower
effect under the giant oaks and
twined with Southern smilax, aspa
ragus ferns, and pink roses, whose
centers were tiny lights, the cere
mony was performed by the Rev.
John I. Armstrong, of Atlanta.
Before the bridal party came,
Miss Annie Nolan sang very beauti
fully “Just a Song at Twilight” and
Dear Heart, I’m Coming Home to
Thee.” Miss Annie G. Thompson
played the Lohengrin Bridal
Chorus.
The bride, who was given away
by her father, was lovely in an
exquisite gown of white char
meuse, with trimmings of lace
and seed pearls and gridle and
court train of brocade. Her veil
was caught with a wreath .of lillies
of the valley. Her flowers were
bride’s roses, showered with
valley lillies. Little Miss Margue
rite Turner, niece of the bride,
acted as train bearer and was
daintly dressed in white with pink
ribbons,
Miss Bess' Fouche, of McDon
ough, maid of honor to the bride,
wore white embroidered crepe
and carried pink rose buds. The
bridesmaids, Misses Ruby Walker
and Agnes Dunn, of McDonough,
Miss Jane Stanfield of Jackson,
and Miss Susie Gunn, of Cuthbert,
were dressed in pink embroidered
crepe dresses and carried baskets
of pink and white sweet peas.
The groomsmen were: Dr. L. P.
Longino, of Milledgeville, best man;
Dr. W. C. Hod net and Mr. Roby
Redwine, of Atlanta, Mr. Tommie
Tolleson and Mr. Walter Burch,
of Fayetteville.
Mrs. Reagan, mother of the
bride, was charming in gray crepe
meteor, with trimmings of cut
steel. Mrs. Redwine, mother of the
groom, wore black olga crepe.
Immediately after the ceremony,
the bride’s cake was brought out
and the cutting of it by the br,idal
party furnished much amusement
for the guests.
An informal reception was held
after the wedding. Punch was
served by Misses Ellene Neal,
Nina Wall, Ruth Turner, and Ethel
Sowell. Misses Alla B. Carmichael,
Hattie Sue Lowe, and Helen Dunn
had the bride’s book in charge.,
The bride and groom left at 9,30
o’clock for an extended trip to
points of interest in the North and
East, to be at home at Fayette
ville after July 3d.
The above is the way it shonld
have happened. But the earth
celebrated by becoming too drunk
with rain, and the wedding was in
doors. Before an improvised al
tar of ferns in the parlor,
the ceremony was performed.
