ding vows in an impressive
candlelight service' at seven
o'clock Saturday evening in

Marietta Church, performed
the double ring ceremony.
Parents of the couple are
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Franklin of
Marietta and Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Crook of Clarksviile.
Branched candelabra in
which burned tall cathedral
tapers reflected the soft glow
in the mellow paneling of the
sanctuary walls and compli-
mented the graceful lines of
the altar arrangement of white
gladioli and chrysanthemums.
Each of the five candelabra
held a white gladiolus tied
with white satin ribbon from
which extended a small frost-
ed bell. Stately white baskets
of white gladioli and chrysan-
themums and greenery com-
pleted the simple elegance of
the setting.
Each window in the sanctu-
ary held English ivy and burn-
ing white tapers. Family pews
were designated with white
satin bows holding tiny white
satin wedding bells each of
which held a lily of the valley.
Prior to the ceremony Mrs.
Ronald Whittington at the
organ played selections of
nuptial music. Mr. Erbie Aikin
sang "Because," accompanied
by Mrs. Whittington.
At the close of the cere-
mony, while the bridal couple
knelt on a white pre-dieu
draped with satin and caught
at the center with small satin
wedding bells, Mr. Aikin sang
"The Lord's Prayer." Tradi-
tional wedding marches were
played for the entrance of the
wedding party and at the close
of the service.
The bride, given in marriage
by her father, wore an origin-
al gown of white bridal satin.
The fitted bodice with its
scooped neckline and its long
sleeves tapering to a point
over the wrist, were of Chan-
tilly lace.
The bouffant skirt of un-
pressed pleats swe; into a
chapel train. Her waist length
veil of illusion fell from a
crown of pearls and crystal
drops.
She carried a bouquet of
white carnations on a white
Bible which was showered
with knotted satin ribbon hold-
ing split carnations.
Her only jewelry was pearl
ear studs, a gift of the groom.
She wore the traditional some-
thing old, something new,
something borrowed and some-
thing blue and a sixpence in
her shoe.
The honor attendant was
Mrs. Jesse Schmitz of Dallas,
a sister of the groom. Other
attendants were Mrs. Don
Nance of Commerce, Mrs. Billy
Williams and Miss Myra Beth
Betts of Marietta. All of the
attendants were identically at-
tired in short dresses of pink
cotton satin fashioned with
scooped necklines and skirts
of impressed pleats.
They wore pill boxes of
pink cotton satin with match-
ing net and shoes covered in
the same material. They wore
wrist length white gloves and
carried colonial arrangements
of white carnations tied with
satin ribbon which had split
carnations tied at intervals in
the ribbon.

Mrs.
Leonard Crook of Clapjtsv
ville served his brother as
best man. Groomsmen were
Charles Hopkins of New Bos-
ton, Cecil Crook of Clarksviile,
brother of the groom, and
R. L. Harris, cousin of the
bride.
For her daughter's wedding
Mrs. Franklin chose a blue
crepe with black accessories
and a carnation corsage.
Following the exchange of
vows, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin
honored their daughter and
Mr. Crook with a reception
in their home. Arrangements
oi white blossoms were used
on the register table and at
other points in the room.
The mantel held an arrange-
ment of pink roses flanked
by pink tapers in white holders
and the garlands of English
ivy extending the length of
the mantle. Mrs. Charles Hop-
kins of New Boston registered
the guests.
The bride's table was laid
with a floor length cloth over-
laid with a deep ruffle of pink
net. A drape of the same ma-
terial was caught at each cor-
ner with white satin ribbon
and tiny white satin wedding
bells.
Centering the table was a
five branch candelabra hold-
ing pink tapers and an exquis-
ite arrangement of pink car-
nations. The four tiered wed-
ding cake, embossed with ros-
es, was presided over by Mrs.
Lawrence McCoy. At the op-
posite end an iced confection
was served from a crystal
punch bowl by Miss Mary
Bi'tes of Hooks.
Other members of the house
party were Mrs. Garnet Frank-
lin of Oklahoma City, Mrs.
E. E. Wommack of Linden,
Mrs. H. W. Spivey of Hooks,
Mrs. Vada Harris, Mrs. W. O.
Betts, and Mrs. R. L. Harris.

tributed by little Miss Denise
Hopkins of New Boston.

Ozarks the couple will reside
in New Boston, both being em-
ployed at the Red River Ord-
nance Depot.

attired in a model of silk in
blue. With it she wore a
feathered hat in the same col-
or and a carnation corsage
from her bridal bouquet.

1956, spent a year in
pitals, then returnj
