Gurley-Morris
Kenly, Oct. 12—A wedding characterized by dignity, beauty and charming simplicity was that of Miss Sadye Reid Morris and Charles Harvey Gurley solemnized at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Morris on Wednesday evening at 8:30 o’clock in the presence of relatives and a few intimate friends of the families.
The living room where the vows were taken presented a most artistic setting for the ceremony with its decorations of long leaf pine, potted plants and cut flowers, pink dahlias being used in great profusion with pink candles in silver candelabra, carrying out the color scheme of pink and green. The arch under which the vows were taken was made very attractive by being entwined with ivy and interspersed with candles.
Just prior to the ceremony a delightful musical program was rendered. Mrs. H.M. Grizzard charmingly sand “All for You” by Ball and “The Sweetest Story Ever Told” by Stults. Mr. K.E. Hurst rendered the on the violine “O Thou Sublime Sweet Evening Star” from Tanhauser and “Angel’s Serenade” by Braga. Mrs. J.J. Edgerton presided at the piano.
Promptly to the strains of Lohengrin’s wedding march the bridal party entered. First to enter was the lovely little flower girl, little Miss Jane Hall Yelverton of Wilson, a cousin of the groom. She was a vision of loveliness in white tulle. She carried a silver basket of pink dahlias. She was followed by the ring bearer, Herbert Grizzard jr., very handsome in his black velvet suit, carrying the ring in the heart of a lily. Next the bride, never more charming and beautiful than on this occasion in her gown of nut brown flat back crepe with fur choker and hat, shoes and gloves of darker brown to match, entered leaning on the arm of the groom and proceeded to the improvised altar where the ceremony was performed by Rev. J.E. Holden, pastor of the bride. The beautiful and impressive ring ceremony of the Methodist church was used. The bride wore a corsage bouquet of valley lilies and bride roses, and her only ornament was a string of pearls, a gift of the groom.
Immediately after the ceremony, the couple left for a trip to New York and other northern cities and will be at home after the 20th of October, at Goldsboro.
The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G.M. Morris and is a charming and talented young lady, being an accomplished musician. Mr. Gurley is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Gurley of Princeton and is a very promising young business man, being the assistant cashier of The Peoples Bank & Trust Co. of Goldsboro.
