Beautiful Wedding Solemnized
A wedding distinct in its simplicity and charm was that of Miss Bessie Brandt Brown and Mr. Emery B. Denny of Gastonia, which took place last evening at 8 o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Brown on South Main street. Only relatives and close friends were present.
In the reception hall masses of evergreens with festoons of trailing smilax gave a pleasing effect. The ceremony was performed in the drawing room before a beautifully improvised altar of evergreens, white lilies and Southern smilax. White ribbons marked the sides, while tall cathedral tapers in graceful holders gleamed brightly in the background. Before the ceremony, Miss Margaret Ramsay sang beautifully DeKoven’s “O Promise Me,” accompanied by Miss Mildred McCubbins. The bridal party entered, followed by McDowell’s “To a Wild Rose” as the vows were spoken.
Miss Charlotte Brown, sister of the bride and her only attendant, was lovely in handsome black velvet, with bouquet of yellow Ward roses. Mr. Ernest Warren of Gastonia acted as best man. The bride, beautiful in a becoming gown of tangerine brocaded chiffon, fur trimmed, and carrying an exquisite bouquet of bride’s roses and valley lilies, was given in marriage by her father, Mr. J.M. Brown, the ring ceremony being impressively used by Dr. Byron Clark, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Following the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Brown entertained at an informal reception. Mrs. Brown was handsomely gowned in black all-over lace over silver cloth, with corsage of Parma violets. Assisting in receiving were Mrs. Hoyle Sink of Lexington, in a becoming gown of orange lace, and Miss Dansy Brown in black Canton crepe with orchid corsage.
In the dining room, where a color note of green and white was artistically observed, Misses Dorothy Yancey, Corinne Heilig and Virginia Goodman assisted in serving. Miss Yancey wore a lovely frock of all-over brown silk lace, Miss Goodman was dainty in peachblow taffeta, and Miss Heilig was lovely in white net. Delicious ice cream, cake and mints were served. The table had as a centerpiece an exquisite bowl of pink roses with white narcissus and asparagus fern, and was effectively lighted by unshaded white candles in silver holders. Shortly after the ceremony, the bride and groom left for a wedding trip to New York.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Brown of Salisbury, where she is widely known and beloved. She is a graduate of N.C.C.W. at Greensboro and is especially gifted and charming. For the past year and a half she has taught in the public schools of Gastonia.
Mr. Denny is the son of Mr. A.M. Denny of Winston-Salem. For some time he has made his home in Gastonia, where he is among the city’s most successful and popular young attorneys. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and enjoys a wide popularity throughout the state.
On their return from New York, Mr. and Mrs. Denny will make their home in Gastonia.
Out-of-town guests present for the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Mangum, Miss Sue Ramsay Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Warren, all of Gastonia; Miss Pearle Denny of Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Johnson, Knox Johnson, Mrs. Katherine Formyalt, all of Mocksville; Mrs. E.B.C. Hambley, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Montcastle, and Mr. and Mrs. H. Hoyle Sink of Lexington.
