An interesting event of Christmas
day was the marriage of Miss Beat
rice Dorothy Kennerley of Wilming
ton, Deleware, and James Henry
Davis of this city which took place
at the home of the bride’s aunt, Mrs.
Authur Leitzsey in the county. The
ceremony was performed at three
o’clock in the afternoon by Dr. J. W.
Carson in the presence of relatives
and close friends of the couple.
In the hallway, an improvised altar
was arranged with a background of
white satin covered with smilax. Sil
ver vases of white carnations and
snapdragons were on the altar and
on either side burned white candles
in candlebra. A white satin cover
ed prayer bench was placed before
the altar on which the couple kneel
ed for the closing prayer. Other dec
orations in the hell and receiving
room consisted of pine, pine cones,
and holly.
Prior to the ceremony, Mrs. E. T.
Marshall of Wilmington, Deleware,
sang “Because” and “I Love You
Truly”. Fred Bouknight of the city
accompanied her and played the
“Bridal Chorus’ from “Lohengrin”
for the processional.
Robert Kennerley, brother of the
bride, lighted the altar candles.
The bride and bridegroom entered
the room together. The attractive
bride was dressed in a stunning two
piece powder blue suit trimmed in
wine velveteen with a blouse of tuck
ed white chiffon with lace inserts and
tiny white pearl buttons. She wore a
small wine colored hat and other wine
accessories and a shoulder corsage of
white carnations and lilies of the val-
! ley.
Mr. and Mrs. Francis John Ken
nedy. parents of the bride, enter
tained at an informal reception fol
lowing the ceremony.
Miss Macie Davis was receiving in
the reception room and Miss Nell
Davis invited callers into the dining
room. The bride’s table was center
ed with a three-tier white iced wed
ding cake topped with a miniature
bride and groom. Other decorations
used about the room carried out a
white and green color motif. Burning
white tapers furnished a soft light
Serving block ice cream and white
iced cakes were Miss Catherine Ken
nerley, Miss Faye Davis, Miss Har
riet Leitzsey, and Miss Vinnie Kate
Leitzsey.
Presiding over the bride’s register
in the gift room was Miss Frances
Kennerley.
Slices of the wedding cake attrac
tively wrapped were given as favors.
The couple left after the reception
for a wedding trip and upon return
ing to the city this weekend will
make their home at 2009 Mayer ave
nue.
