Beautiful Home Wedding

A marriage of much interest in both Central and North Louisiana was celebrated in Alexandria at 10:30 a.m., on Saturday, June 21, 1924, when Rev. B. L. Price, D. D., minister of the First Presbyterian church of this city pronounced the marriage vows with the ring contract to Spencer R. Emmons, of Bossier City and Miss Effie Lee McAdams.

Mr. and Mrs. J. E. McAdams had decorated their home with great care and much taste for this happy event in the life of their neice [sic niece]. The octagon end of the parlor from floor to near-ceiling was beautiful with masses of handsome potted ferns, silver vases of large white shasta daisies studding the feathery dainty green. Pale pink hydrangias and roses and other blossoms made fragrant and beautiful the rest of the house. The dining room which opened into the apartment of the marriage was especially beautiful, the rich lace table cover being centered with a very artistic floral piece.

Mrs. Golding Thompson, with soul and individuality in touch, played the march from “Midsummer Night's Dream” by Mendelssohn and, during the ceremony, “I Love You Truly” by Carrie Jacobs Bond. Mr. W. H. Browning, of Minden, an intimate friend and companion of the groom, acted as best man.

The bride, wearing a picturesque wedding frock of gray flat crepe, real lace and touches of coral color with corsage bouquet of roses of same shade, looked lovely. Hat, shoes, gloves and all other accessories were of gray. The traveling dress was a costume tailleur of poiret twill, combination navy and poudre blue.

The bride is a cultured and accomplished young woman who has for several years been a successful teacher in the public schools of Louisiana.

The groom is an educator of note and renown; though recently engaged in commercial business in Bossier City, a suburb of Shreveport, La.

After the ceremony a delicious high-noon luncheon was served. Mr. and Mrs. Emmons will make their home in Shreveport.
