The home of Mrs. Mary H. Elder on South Bay was in bridal adornment Saturday for the wedding of her son, Mr. Theodore A. Elder to Miss Cecile G. Grant, daughter of J. E. Grant. Bright colored Zinnias, palms and coral vines were used for decorating the living and dining rooms where the guests assembled. Preceding the ceremony Mrs. R. J. Sisson sang “Until,” and this was followed by she and Mrs. O. C. Arnold singing “At Dawning,” with Mrs. Carlton Crawford accompanist. Mrs. Crawford also played Liszt’s “Liebstraum,” to the strains of which the wedding party entered and they were continued softly during the ceremony. An arch of palm leaves and coral vines was formed in the opening between the living room and dining room, beneath which the nuptial vows were taken. The groom entered first followed by the bride’s sister, Mrs. Ted Green, as matron of honor. The bride, on the arm of her father, who gave her in marriage, came next and they were met by Rev. G. F. Gillespie, pastor of the Presbyterian church, who used the beautiful double ring service, and in a most impressive manner performed the ceremony that united the lives and destinies of these popular young people. The bride was becomingly attired in a modish blue chiffon velvet dress with hat to match and carried a beautiful shower boquet of pink rosebuds, lilies of the valley and ferns. Mrs. Green wore dark blue crepe with hat to match and carried a bouquet of pink carnations and ferns tied with pink tulle. A bit of sentiment carried out in the bride’s trousseau, was that she wore “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue,” the borrowed being a handkerchief carried by the groom’s mother when she was a bride. Following the ceremony congratulations were in order, followed by the cutting of the bride’s cake and throwing the bridal bouquet, which was caught by Miss Myrle Bell. Ice cream, angel food and fruit cake were served during the social hour, while the newlyweds made ready for their trip to Houston. The bride’s book was in charge of Miss Vera Tanner, a very near and dear friend and schoolmate. Mrs. Elder is one of our best known and most beloved girls. She has made Palacios her home since early childhood and received her public school education here, graduating with the class of 1922, later taking a year’s work at San Marcos, then a summer term at State University, and one year at Teacher’s State Normal, at Huntsville. She has taught two or more terms in our grammar grades and was well liked by both parent and pupil. The groom is the youngest son of one of our pioneer families, finished our High School in 1920 and attended A. & M. two years. He now holds a splendid position with the Gulf Refining Co., at Port Arthur, where he and his bride will make their future home. These are two of our most estimable young people. Their marriage unites two of Palacios’ best families and with them goes the sincere wishes of every one for their future happiness and prosperity. ************ Out of town guests for the Grant-Elder wedding Saturday were: J. E. Grant, of Freer, Texas; Mrs. Ted Green, of Brownsville; Mrs. C. S. Yeamans, daughter, Maxine, and son, Kenneth, of Houston; Mrs. C. E.

On last Tuesday evening the marriage of Miss Jessie Jarrell to Mr. Aubrey Elliott was solemnized at the spacious Jarrell home on North Main street, Rev. W. M. Williams, of Ft Worth, officiating. The entire reception suite which includes almost the entire first floor of the residence was beautifully decorated with garlands and festoons of Southern smilax, potted ferns and palms and bowls of white roses. Innumerable gifts of rare beauty were displayed in the library and were the true expressions of the love and sincere esteem in which this happy young couple are held by their many friends. In the dining room Misses Anna Beringer, Le Vera Pyle and Arleigh Jarrell presided over the punch bowl. A lace spread over pink satin, roses, ferns, and ribbons suspended from the chandelier made the table a bower of beauty. Miss Aubery Jarrell home from the State University for the occasion, sweetly sang, “Oh Promise Me!” Miss Ruth Hatcher, at the piano, played the wedding march. Both of these young ladies were gowned in point-d’esprit over white satin with pear hair ornaments. As the first sweet strains of Mendelsson’s wedding march were heard little Jimmie Jarrell and Leslie B. Elliott clad in dainty white empire frocks with pink sashes descended the smilax entwined stairway and scattering rose petals, wended their way to the parlor, the place of the ceremony. Misses Mary Miller, from the University, and Ophelia Donnell, followed by Misses Florence Agee and Kathleen Holliday at bride’s maids were next in the procession, wearing dainty semi-decollete frocks of pointed d’esprit over white satin with pearl trimmings and hair ornaments and carrying brides maid’s bouquets. The bride, who appeared on the arm of the groom, looked exceedingly charming in a gown of accordion plaited charmeuse satin with an exquisite Venice lace over drapery and a coiffure decoration of tulle, pearls and aigrette. After Rev. W. M. Williams pronounced the simple but beautiful ceremony, Rev. E. C. Boynton invoked a blessing upon the young couple in a short prayer. After the ceremony an informal reception was held and a delicious salad and ice course was served. Immediately after the reception was over, the couple left for their future home, the bride wearing a tailored suit of blue with hat, blouse and gloves, en suite.—Belton Journal.
Miss Jarrell is a niece
of Mr. J. R. Reynolds of this city and visited for some time here
several months ago. She made many friends while in the city who extend
their heartiest congratulations.
