A bank of ferns formed the background of the marriage altar, while large paots of Easter lilies were used effectively in the foreground. Floor vases and hanging baskets of white spring flowers completed the artistic arrangement. The bride and groom came in unattended to the altar, where the impressive ring ceremony was read.

Miss Bright was unusually attractive in her dress of blue georgette caught at the waist with a rhinestone cluster. The only additional ornament was a diamond pin, the gift of the groom. A smart hat of green with a touch of blue to harmonize with the dress, matched the gloves and slippers.

She wore a corsage of sweetheart roses and valley lilies.

Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom left to spend honeymoon in Florida, after which they will be at home in Mount Pleasant.
