A wedding of much interest to Palacios occurred in Houston Saturday night, and when the news came that Ruth and J. A. were married we were surprised and we were not surprised, for we had long expected it, yet they had kept their plans so much to their selves that not even their closest friends suspected it was so near at home. Ruth, accompanied by Miss Louise Partain, went up to Houston Saturday afternoon, where they were met by J. A. and Sterling Smith, and they immediately went in search of Rev. H. A. Echols, who performed the ceremony. After the nuptial vows had been taken the folks back home were notified by land [long] distance. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Skinner of this city, and is one of our most beloved girls. She graduated from the Palacios High School in 1921 and for the past six years has been an efficient assistant at the post office. She was ever pleasant, sociable and accommodating and her greeting smile will be missed by all the patrons of Uncle Sam’s mail. She was a favorite in church and social circles and her place among the young folks will be hard to fill. J. A. is a home boy too, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Partain but has been in Houston for a number of years and holds a good position with the Hughes Tool Co. He had an apartment all ready for his bride when she arrived and where they are now at home ready to receive their friends. The marriage of these young people culminates a romance begun during their school days. They have the best wishes of a host of friends with whom the Beacon joins most heartily.

In the late hours of Tuesday, June 25, St. Mark’s Episcopal church was the setting for a wedding of interest to a wide circle of friends over the state, when Miss Irby Stinnett, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Stinnett, of this city, became the bride of Mr. James Reynolds Preddy, of Austin and Bay City. St. Mark’s interior loveliness was made still lovelier by the lavish use of Southern smilax and other trailing vines, with placement of Shasta daisies, carrying out the white and gold theme against the background of green. Flanking the transept, tall, graceful baskets held the chosen flower, while floor standards in golden tones, holding white cathedral candles emphasized by tracery of tulle, extended from each side of the transept to the choir stalls, where archways of smilax and Shasta daisies led to the altar, banked in ferns and daisies. Hayden Curtis, Rankin Watson and Billy Stinnett seated the guests, and long before the hour appointed for the ceremony, the church was filled to overflowing, speaking eloquently of the affectionate interest in the occasion. Preceding the entrance of the bridal party, Mrs. George Edward Stinnett gave four exquisite organ numbers of nuptial sentiment, followed by a lovely vocal number by Mrs. George Ross Burke, entitled “Until.” With the last strains of the wedding solo, the vested choir of St. Mark’s with the addition of a number of singers from other churches, friends of the bride and groom, gave a group of numbers, after which the bridal march from Lohengrin heralded the approach of the bride and her attendants. First to enter, came Miss Ione Stinnett, sister of the bride, wearing a most attractive frock of blue organdy of colonial model, carrying a quaint colonial bouquet. Following the maid of honor, came Mrs. Mickey Hart, niece of the groom, dainty and petite in a becoming gown of organdy and colonial bouquet, followed by the bridesmaids, Frances Taylor, Katherine Klein, Beulah Erickson, Maurine DeLano, Helen Wilson, carrying the chosen colonial design of flowers and featuring the distinctive organdy frocks in harmony with the summer theme, all the gowns being pastel in shade and in colonial motif. The groomsmen, Mr. P. R. Hamill, Mr. Austin Castleton, Mr. Jimmie Castleton, Mr. B. F. Mock of Austin, were attired in white linen, further featuring the summer scheme of apparel. Preceding the bride, came the dainty little flower girls, Jim Tom Preddy, niece of the groom, and Marion Clements, attired in quaint colonial frocks of organdy, who outlined the path of the charming bride with rose petals, bespeaking happiness for the future. The bride entered upon the arm of her father, and was a picture of gentle loveliness in her colonial model of Cordover taffeta with Bertha of seed pearl garniture and court train of tulle, banded about the brow in handsome lace, her shower bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley and orchids adding to the loveliness of the ensemble. At the chancel, the groom, attended by Mr. Mickey Hart of Austin, both attired in white, met the bride. Rev. Paul E. Engle celebrating the service. The nuptial recessional rendered by Mrs. Serrill, brought the conclusion of the ceremony, when the bridal couple were showered with good wishes and escorted to the Stinnett home where an informal reception was held, individual cakes and punch being served to a large assembly of friends and relatives. The wedding cake, the work of the artistic fingers of Mrs. M. A. Capps and Mrs. H. G. Jamison, friends of the bride and groom, was in the shape of a wedding bell, with bridesmaid roses and foliage in decoration, worked in colors in the frosting. This reposed upon a handsome lace-laid table in the dining room, with a shower arrangement of fern and lilies of the valley pendant from the dome fixture above the dining room. After the wedding reception, informal in nature, the bridal couple left by automobile for Houston, and after spending a few hours there, will motor through to Colorado for a visit of indefinite length. The bride was raised in Bay City, finished at our local schools and then attended Sophie Newcomb College in New Orleans, and Southwestern University at Georgetown. The groom, likewise is a Bay City boy, a graduate of our schools, and of the University of Texas, and for many years has been engaged in business in Bay City, only recently removing to Austin, where he is in the moving picture business near the State University. Both the bride and groom are popular members of Bay City social circles and a world of good wishes go with them in their new home. The bride, in leaving, was attired in a very handsome, imported model of tweed, in purple and gray tones, wearing a fetching hat of purple with gray footwear and accessories. Out-of-town guests for the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. Perry Hunnicutt and Perry, Jr., of Houston; Mr. and Mrs. Newton Reese, of Beaumont; Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Moore, sister and brother-in-law of the groom, of Houston; Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walker, of Markham; Mesdames C. R. Fisher and Agnes Brunner of Markham. The array of exquisite gifts bore mute testimony to the esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Preddy are held in their old home, and invitingly of their welcome in their new one.—Austin.
