Cliffside, June 30—A wedding of interest throughout the State was that of Miss Minnie Carpenter and Mr. Fred Webb, which was solemnized Wednesday evening, June 24th, at the home of the bride in this city.
The house was beautifully decorated and a color scheme was made very effective by the use of ivy, palms, ferns and Queen Ann’s lace. The altar was a scene of beauty with a background of ivy, palms and ferns interspersed with Queen Ann’s Lace, flanked on either side with tall candelabra holding Cathedral candles.
Prior to the ceremony, Miss Nell Padgett of Forest City sang “The Sweetest Story Ever Told” and “I Love You Truly,” accompanied by Mr. Broadus E. Roach at the piano. Mr. Roach played the “Bridal Chorus” from Lohengrin, as the bridal party entered. McDowell’s “To a Wild Rose” was rendered softly during the ceremony and Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” was used for the recessional.
Dr. Chas. Hadley Stevens, pastor of the bride, and Rev. D.J. Hunt, a former pastor, entered and took their places at the altar, followed by Miss Willie Carpenter, sister of the bride, who was lovely as maid of honor. Miss Carpenter wore a yellow georgette dress and yellow picture hat and carried a bouquet of Ophelia roses and valley lilies. Next to enter was little Miss Louise Carpenter, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.P. Carpenter, and cousin to the bride, daintily dressed in yellow organdie and carrying the ring in a large lily.
The bride and groom entered together and taking their place before the altar were united in marriage by an impressive ring ceremony which was closed with a prayer by Rev. D.J. Hunt. The bride was lovely in an ensemble suit of blue and white crepe back satin, carrying a shower bouquet of bride’s roses and valley lilies. She wore a handsome diamond bar pin, a gift of the groom.
Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Webb left for a motor trip after which they will be at home at Forest City.
