Scandrett – Saunders
(Macon Telegraph)

The First Presbyterian Church was filled Wednesday evening with a large and 
brilliant assemblage of friends and relatives to witness the marriage of Miss 
Carile Scandrett and Mr. John Fredrick Saunders, which occurred at 9 o’clock, 
Rev. Ruthford E. Douglass, officiating.

The church, especially about the chancel end, was decorated lavishly with palms 
and ferns, mingled with which were dozens of small white and red incandescent 
lights, making a very charming and effective background for the bridal party.  
The choir railing was banked with smilax and ferns and on the raised dais just 
back of this the bridesmaids and groomsmen formed a semi-circle during the 
ceremony facing the bride and groom.

The bridesmaids included Miss Hettie Garrett, of Columbus; Miss Marie Adams and 
Miss Louise White of Macon.

The groomsmen were: Messrs. Tom Carson, of Columbus, Jim Clyatt, of Unadilla, 
Tom Marcy and Marshall Ellis of this city.

The two matrons of honor were: Mrs. Henry R. McLean, of Athens, sister of the 
bride and Mrs. Tom S. Murphey of Barnesville, the groom’s sister.

The bride who came in with her father, R.A. Scandrett, was preceded by her maid 
of honor, Miss Mary Scandrett, and they were met at the altar by the groom and 
his best man, Bob Flournoy, the officiating minister who awaited them, 
performing the beautiful and impressive ceremony.

The bride made a lovely picture in her wedding gown and veil, the filmy folds 
of which enveloped the slight girlish figure.  Her gown which was made with 
long train, was of white dutchess lace over satin and with pearl trimmings.  
Her long tulle veil was caught to the coiffure with a half wreath of orange 
blossoms, and she carried an exquisite bouquet of bride roses showered with 
Lillies of the Valley.

They were driven to the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.A. 
Scandrett, where before leaving for Florida on their wedding trip, the bride 
changed her wedding gown for a handsome gray traveling dress, with which she 
wore hat, gloves and shoes to match.  On their return Mr. and Mrs. Saunders 
will be at home to their friends at 400 Vineville Avenue, the home of the 
groom’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. J.W. Saunders for a few months.
