The Methodist Church of this city was a scene of unusual beauty when at 9 o’clock, Thursday evening of last week, Miss Mildred Reed Scott, only daughter of Mrs. Julia Pleasants Scott, became the bride of Mr. Edward Foster Griffin. The altar made a lovely setting for the ceremony with its decorations in a color scheme of green and white.
Prior to the ceremony, Mrs. O.Y. Yarboro at the organ rendered the Bacharolle from the “Tales of Hoffmann” and the Song to the Evening Star from “Tannhausers” and during the ceremony she softly played the Prayer from “Lohengrin.”
The bridal party entered to the strains of the Lohengrin Bridal Chorus sung by Mesdames AW. Mohn, S.B. Parkley, J.A. McIver, and W.E. White, and Messrs. J.B. King, W.B. Tucker, M. McKinnie, T.W. Watson and Dr. H.H. Johnson.
The ushers were Messrs. Ben T. Holden, G.M. Beam, O.Y. Yarboro, and T.W. Ruffin of Raleigh. They were followed by Misses Francis Barrow and Beatrice Turner, who wore gowns of orchid georgette trimmed with lace and French flowers, and Messrs. W.Y. Bickett of Raleigh and J.E. Malone Jr., Misses Landrum Norris of Raleigh and Mozelle Lassiter of Apex, wearing pink georgette trimmed with rhinestones and lace, were followed by Messrs. J.Y. Kerr of Rocky Mount and W.E. White Jr., Misses Lucy T. Allen and Louise Griffin in Jade georgette, and Messrs. Carroll Weathers of Raleigh and B.N. Williamson Jr. Misses Katheryn Pleasants and Maude Ashley, in orange georgette and lace, and Messrs. G.W. Ford and S.J. Parham Jr.
All of the bridesmaids wore bandeaus of rhinestones, gold hoses and shoes, and carried pastel arm bouquets.
Miss Ruth Early, cousin of the bride and maid of honor, entered alone wearing flesh chiffon with bodice of brilliants and carrying Columbia roses. She wore a bandeau of rhinestones and gold hose and shoes. She was followed by little Miss Mary Alexander Wells of Wilson, flower girl, in a dainty dress of white ruffled georgette, and Master Karl Allen, ring-bearer, in white satin.
The bride entered on the arm of her uncle, Mr. M.C. Pleasants, who gave her in marriage. She was radiantly beautiful in an exquisite bridal gown of white fleur-de-lis satin trimmed with real lace and flat flowers. Her veil of lace and orange blossoms was worn coronet effect, and the long train was embroidered with orange blossoms, rhinestones, and pearls. Her shoes were of white satin with rhinestone heels and buckles set in real lace, and she carried Bride’s roses and swansonis, showered with valley lilies. He was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, his brother, Mr. P.B. Griffin Jr. of Raleigh.
The bride’s pastor, Rev. O.W. Dowd, officiated, using the impressive ring ceremony.
Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin left by motor for New York, Toronto, and other northern points. The bride wore bishop purple flat crepe with blond hat and shoes.
Mrs. Griffin is one of Louisburg’s most attractive and charming young ladies. She was educated at Louisburg College and the North Carolina College for Women. Mr. Griffin is a prominent young Attorney of this city, being associated with Hon. Ben T. Holden. He was educated at Wake Forest College and the University of North Carolina.
