MOSELEY—McBRIDE
An event of much interest to their
many friends was the Tom Thumb
Wedding of Miss Ada Claire Mose
ley and Mr. George Mcßride, Jr., on
the evening of May 23rd, at the Pal-,
ace of Future Hopes, Rev. William
Giles Taley officiating.
The palace was beautifully decor
ated with palms and brides dreams,
a charming and original arrangement
of rose-colored clouds of delight anti
hazy Illusions forming a back
ground for the essembled guests and
bridal party.
The fairies themselves were al
lured to this place of beauty and
splendor, and showed their interest
by sending little Mary Lankford and
Carolyn TalHy to describe a shimmer
ing pathway of ribbon for the hap
py pair. The inmates of Happyland
not to be outdone by the affairs,
sent little Louise Rogers and Doro
thy Peterson to strew with flowers
of fancy the path of the bride. Then
to make the occasion most immemor-.
ably perfect, none other than Dan :
Cupid himself, in the guise of Will- i
iam McNatt, winged his way from the
burest Heights of Bliss with the wed
ding ring, a gift of Venus, the God
dess of Love, and of Minerva, the
Goddess of Wisdom.
The blushing bride arid the tri
umphant bridegroom marched in to
the strains of Lohengrin’s “Wedding
March,” attended by the maid-of
honor, Miss Virgina Gray, and the
best man, Mr. Robert Oliver, and by
the brides-maids, Misses Hazel Brad
sher, Miss Sara Freeman Clifton,
Miss Louise Peterson, and Miss
Ruth Thompson, and the grooms
men, Mr. Harry Talley, Mr. Cecil
Hill, Mr. Herbert Odom and Mr. Paul
Hill.
Mi.ss Eleanor McNatt rendered the
beautiful selection, “I Love You
Truly”, and the groom’s mother
very effectively san “When You and
I Were Young, Maggie.”
After the impressive ceremony, to
the silvery notes of “Darling I Am
Growing Odl”, the guests congratu
lated the groom and wished the
bride all the happiness in the world,
then retired to the spacious drawing
room, where they were served with
dream cakes and punch.
Mid a generous shower of lice and
affection, the laughing couple de
parted on their journey of love and
happiness, being accompained to the
landing station by the laughing flock
of friends. Then taking pasage on
the fairy-airy-plane, “Imagination-”,
the wedded lovers flew away to
Realms Unknown to be gone an in
definite length of time. After their
return they will be at home to their
friends at the “Heart’s Desire Ap
partments”, 281 on Harmony Street,
Lyons, Ga.
