Oxford, Nov. 22—One of the loveliest weddings of the fall season was solemnized Wednesday night at 7:30 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R.T. Critcher when their daughter, Myrtle, was married to Mr. James Crawford Williford, son of Mr. and Mrs. L.T. Williford of Moriah.
Rev. G.T. Tunstall performed the ceremony before a large number of friends and relatives.
The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with white chrysanthemums and ferns. The improvised altar was banked with ferns and other potted plants, and the color of white and green were carried out in decorations throughout the house.
Prior to the ceremony, Miss Grace Frazier at the piano, wearing a dress of Sunset trimmed in silver, played. Mrs. G.T. Tunstall sang ‘Absence’ and ‘I Love You Truly.’
The Bridal March from Lohengrin was used as the processional.
The bride’s little niece, Miss Cornelia Daniel, dressed in white crepe trimmed in fur, entered carrying the ring in a large white chrysanthemum.
Then came Miss Critcher on the arm of her maid of honor, Miss Reca Pruitt, dressed in turquoise blue with silver trimmings, carrying a large bouquet of pink roses and lily of the valley. The bride wore a brown Charmaine dress with accessories of harmonizing shade, carrying a large bouquet of bride’s roses and lily of the valley.
Mr. Williford entered with his best man, Mr. Robert Williford.
