I Bryan-Thompson. " ^ ~ mi * -* i Bryan, Uetober iz:?rne social j events of the season came to a beau-11 tiful climax Wednesday evening, 6th 1 inst, when Miss Lucile James Bryan, the lovely young daughter of Hon 1 and Mrs W D Bryan, became the 1 bride of Mr Claude Joseph Thomp- ] son of Kingstree. ' The contracting parties and the 1 circumstances leading up to the i happy event made the occasion one ' of unusual and State-wide interest, j1 Never before has romance been 1 more pleasing and gracious than 1 with Claude and Lucile. ' The old and theyounghave watched and waited with eagerness as;" words grew into sentences and sen- * tences into interviews and then the j! same "sweet old story". M The wedding .took place at the j1 palatial home of the bride's sister, : ^ Mrs B A Brown. The whole lower |' floors were thrown en suite and pre-'1 sented a picture of rare loveliness; js eloquent in grandeur, yet beautiful j1 in simplicity. The decorations con-1 * sisted of gray Spanish moss, South- j * ern smilax, large golden chryanthe- j * mums, potted ferns and palms. Ic The guests felt upon entering as though they were being ushered into 1 an enchanted garden where beauti-jv ful flowers, entwined in long gar-,? lands, soft music, fair maidens and v gallant knights lived as if by magic. ? The arch in the parlor from which ^ was suspended the beautiful wedding bell was especially lovely, being c draped with moss- and smilax, which v hung in graceful tendrils, from each, * tendril hung fluffy chrysanthe-! 1 mums, all adding a charming touch ic of softness under the mellow even-e ing lights. Is The aisles leading out from the p arch were converted into bridal I paths, being laid with carpet of;1 snowy whiteness. One path made its way through the sitting room, and r at the opposite side of the parlor the ^ other path gracefully entered the s reception hall and up the winding stairs, from which came lovely Lu- j J cile, the bride. The color scheme i I was white and gold. n j Immediately preceding the cere- 8 mony, with the dainty little Miss j * Frankie Nesmith at the piano, Miss ? ? - ..11 Elraa Hinds sang in an unusually J sweet manner, "I Love You Truly" ^ and "O, Promise Me". At the sound * of Lohengrin's wedding march,play- ^ ?d by Miss Nesmith.came the flower ^ girls. Misses Marjorie James Brown, * niece of the bride, and Carolyn 2 Thompson,sister of the groom. They ; ' were real little fairies in their charm- ^ ing costumes, so soft and white. a These iittle girls slowly wended their ^ way along the path of the bride,! I strewing bright flowers, then taking h their positions on opposite sides of the arch. Next came Master James Thomp- j ?on, the baby brother of the groom.; g Be also marched along the bridal g path bearing the wedding ring in a \ ?oiaen cnrysantnemum, tnen taKing t his place beside the minister. He t wore a little white suit and could c not have been more cunning. t Then came the maid of honor, 1 Miss Minnie Bryan, carrying gold j t and white chrysanthemums, wearing; r a beautiful gown of white satin j t charmeuse and lace drapery. Fol- j t lowing came the bride, a charming e and winsome brunette, handsomely ? gowned inanaccordeon pleated white crape meteor with a little pearl and silver bodice of special design,unique in beauty and charm. Her Ion?-,flow- \ ing veil was looped with real pearls, s The bride entered upon the arm c of her father, Hon W B Bryan, carrying a shower bouquet of bride's \ roses and lillies of the valley, inter- \ twined with narrow white satin rib- 1 Y Ul I I ! I I i I )on uponjwhieh there were myriads if tiny white satin bows, which fell in graceful folds to the bottom of the wedding gown. The groom entered the parlor at the same time as the bride but on the opposite side,through the sitting room, in the other bridal path, with lis brother, Mr Franklin Thompson, who was best man. The bride and ?room met in the arch beneath the Dell, where the marriage was performed by Rev W I Sinnott, the 'ing ceremony, in accordance with :hfe ritual of the Presbyterian church, leing very effective. During the ceremony Miss Neimith rendered very softly "Noc:urn", by Chopin. The party then narehed out in reverse order. Af;er receiving congratulations Mr ind Mrs Thompson left in an auto "or Lanes, where they took the train 'or an extended tour South. The ^ride's going-away gown was a chic suit of golden brown, with accessories to match. After their return VIr and Mrs Thompson will make heir home in Kingstree, where the (room is a bookkeeper in the Bank >f Williamsburg. Mrs Thompson is a young woman >f many graces of mind and person, vho is capable of filling the home ;he will adorn with happiness and vill prove to be truly a helpmate md companion to the husband she las chosen to honor with her hand. After the wedding a charming re :eption was tendered the guests, vho numbered about 150. Delicious ruit punch was served by Miss Nell Slakely and Mr W D Bryan, Jr, the ?nly brother of the bride. The presets were numerous and costly, conisting of cut glass.silver and china, day the gentle zephyrs ever keep jucile and Claude happy; "wreathed n smiles as bright and balmy as ove, laughter and sunshine can nake them,when fanned by summer ?reezes and burnished by golden unlight."
