came the bride of Richard

day night in a candlelight
ceremony at the F irst
Methodist Church in Mer-
cedes. The Reverend David
C. Paul officiated in the
double ring ceremony held
before an altar decorated
with a white Gretchen Urn
holding a fan arrangement
of white alabaster mums,
gladioli and pom poms.
Given in marriage by her
father the bride wore a white
peau de sole gown fashioned
along straight lines featur-
ing elbow length sleeves, a
round neckline and a detach-
able train. The bodice front
was trimmed in embrodiered
flower nosegays encrusted
with pearls. The four tiered
silk illusion veil was worn
with a pill box hat which
was covered with pearl en-
crusted embroidered nose-
gays. She carried a cascade
bouquet of white sweetheart
roses entwined with pearl
hearts and satin streamers
centered with a white cata-
laya orchid. Following tra-
dition she wore something
old, something new, some-
thing borrowed and some-
thing blue, along with a piece
of money in her shoe. She
carried a lace handkerchief,
a keepsake of her mother.
Her jewelry was a white
gold and crystal bracelet, a
gift of the groom.

nished traditional wedding
music on the organ and ac-
companied Mrs. R. R. Hol-
lan who sang "Whither Thou
Goest I Will Go’* and "Be-
cause”.

tron of honor. Bridesmaids'

length turquoise peau de sole
gowns were worn by the at-
tendants, their shoes dyed
to match, and circles of tur-
quoise net with side front
bows of matching velvet rib-
bon; each carried a nosegay
of turquoise chenille hearts,
centered with white pom
poms and satin streamers.

go, Illinois, the groom’s
brother, and groomsmen

ganza dress made along
straight lines. To complete
her ensemble she wore shoes
dyed to match and a pink
jeweled hat. Her corsage was
of pink garnet roses.
Mrs. Andersonworeagold
silk linen sheath with a hern*
line embroidered wits' sou-
tache braid trim, matching
shoes and a white lily-of-
the-valley pill box hat. Her
corsage was of pink garnet
roses.

the ceremony was held at
the Mercedes Civic Center.
Mrs. T. J. Rippert of Port
Isabel greeted the guests
and presented them to the
receiving line composed of
the bride and groom, their
parents and the attendants.
The bride’s table was co-
vered with a whie Venetian
linen lace cloth with a cen-
ter arrangement of white
mums, daisies and turquoise
chenille hearts in a turquoise
glass compote flanked by tall
lighted candles. The three
tiered wedding cake was de-
corated in white sugar spun
roses. After the bride cut the
first slice Mrs. Woody A.
Tullis and Mrs. R. G. Mac-
Ken zie served cake to the
guests. Mrs. Norma Smith
and Mrs. Clive Roe served
the punch from a crystal
punch bowl.

guest book which rested on
one end of a long table cov-
ered with a white cut em-
broidery linen cloth. The
center arrngement was six
hurricane lamps surrounded
by the bridesmaids’ bou-
quets. On the other end of
the table a crystal plate held
rice bags which were pre-
sented to the guests by Miss
Elizabeth Roe. Others in the
