Hastings-George Wed In Old Rock Church
THE CLIFTON RECORD, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1982, PAGE 8A
The Old Rock Church was
much alive on Saturday
night, June 19, as people
began arriving for the wed-
ding of Mary Frances
George and John Albert
Hastings, Jr. The couple
chose to be married here
because of its beauty and
uniqueness.
The church has a lot of
memories for the Hastings
family, as John’s father
attended church services
there as a young man. Also,
John’s grandparents were
married there.
The time of the wedding
was 8 o’clock. People start-
ed arriving early and visited
among their relatives and
friends outside the church.
It was a comfortable even-
ing as the sky was overcast
with clouds and it was cool,
due to the cool front that
moved in the night before.
John Hastings is the son of
Sadie Hastings of Mustang
and the late Albert Hast-
ings. He is a self-employed
attorney, with his office in
the Bosque County Bank
building in Meridian. He is
a graduate of Baylor School
of Law.
Mary Frances George,
formerly of Austin, is the

daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
William George of Lake
Whitney. She will be em-
ployed by the Walnut
Springs Independent School
District for the coming
school year. She is a grad-
uate of the University of
Texas.
The single ring ceremony
was conducted by the Rev.
Dave Smith of Cranfills
Gap.
The maid of honor was
Pam Gwathney of Dallas, a
friend of the bride. The
bridesmaid was Janet Irwin
of Shreveport, La., cousin of
the bride.
The girls’ dresses were
peach, banded by sashes of
white and yellow ribbons.
They carried nosegays of
the bride’s chosen colors,
peach, yellow, and white.
The silk flowers were like
the nosegay carried by the
bride, roses, daisies, car-
nations, baby’s breath and
greenery.
Matching the nosegays
were two arrangements on
thealtar, with peach, yellow
and white candles. The
seven-pronged candlesticks
stood on each side of the
aisle at the front of the
church. Peach, yellow and
white candles were burning
in each of the many church
windows.
Sharon and Susan Barton
of Austin, former students
of the bride, served as
candlelighters. Other can-
dles were burning in the old
antique gas lights hanging
from the ceiling.
Ken Sparks of Hamilton
was the best man. Former
Congressman W.R. (Bob)
Poaqe of Waco was the
groomsman. The groom,
father of the bride, best
man, and groomsman were
all attired in beige tuxedos
with white ruffled shirts.
Billy Baldwin and Scott
Johnson rolled out a white
aisle runner just before the
wedding march was played.
Then everyone stood up as
the bride was ushered in on
her father’s arm.
The bride wore a formal
gown of white satin, featur-
ing a bodice of lace. Her
three-tiered veil fell from a
lace-covered Juliettecap.
Providing music were or-
ganists Leigha Kreitner of
Austin, and Levada Whit-

The ushers were Tommy
and Billy Baldwin and Jim,
Tim, and Scott Johnson, all
of Grand Prairie, and neph-
ews of the groom. Mrs.
Miriam Gwathney of Dallas
and Tim Johnson rang the
bell prior to the beginning of
theceremony.

party were Nellie Baldwin,

groom. Other members in-
cluded Sandy Utley, Clarice

cella Tergerson, Sharon
Moore, and Pylar Pinkston.
The photographer was
Gene Jackson, assisted by
his wife, Nancy, of Walnut
Springs.
The reception was held
near Hamilton, at the ranch
home of Ken Sparks. The air
strip runway was lit up and
the candlesticks along the
walkway to the front door
were lit, giving a festive
glow to the affair.
The large home was more
than ample to accommodate
the large crowd. The bride's
table held the white three-
tiered wedding cake,
punch, nuts and mints.
The groom’s table was
very much a conversation
piece, as the cake was a
replica of John’s Cessna 182
plane. The wing span was
36 inches.
It sat on a sky blue sheet
that was dotted with differ-
ent sizes and shapes of
clouds made of white icing.
The cake was a super moist
chocolate with white icing.
The plane was marked
with all the numbers and
writings of the original.
