At the piano playing the accompaniment, the wedding march and soft melodies during the ceremony was Miss Annie Claire Springfield of Buffalo, Texas.
The bride who entered with her sister, Mrs. A. E. Pyeatt, (formerly Miss Gladys McClaren), of Memphis, wore a pink georgette ensemble suit with gold trimming, and the becoming picture hat framing her lovely face, was of pink.
A colonial shower of pink Kilarney rosebuds, tulle tied in pink, completed a charming costume. Mrs. Pyeatt was attractive in a monkey skin georgette gown and becoming pink hat.
The improvised altar was made of fern and pink rosebuds.
The groom was attended by Henry Weghorst of Taylor.
