Miss Louise Wright Weds Mr. Campbell Jones

From Macon Evening News of November 17th

One of the prettiest and most prominent weddings of the season in Macon was 
that of Miss Louise Tomlin Wright and Mr. James Campbell Jones, which took 
place last evening at the Mulberry Street Methodist Church, in the presence of 
a large and brilliant assemblage of admiring friends and relatives.

The handsome interior of the church was further enhanced by the beautiful 
decorations.

Filling the pulpit and altar, was a graduated embankment of handsome palms, 
interspersed with tall floor vases of superb chrysanthemums, which flanked the 
sides and formed a beautiful bower in which the bridal party was picturesquely 
grouped.

While the guests were assembling pleasing organ selections were rendered by 
Mrs. Monroe Ogden.  Mendelssohn’s wedding march was the signal for the entrance 
of the bridal party, and promptly at 9 o’clock, two of the ushers, Mr. Will 
Solomon and Mr. Charlie Lewis, led the way into the church.  Miss Mary Troy 
entered next, preceding Mr. George Ganatt, and Mr. Amp Peeler, who were 
followed by Miss Mattie Lewis Dodson, of Americus.  Then came Mr. Frances 
Williams and Mr. Charlie Williamson, and following them Miss May Burke, 
preceding the groomsmen, Mr. Carl Neisbit and Mr. John Reid.  Miss Harriette 
Winchester entered next and then came the other groomsmen, Mr. Robert Wright 
and Mr. Andrew Lyndon.

The maid of honor, Miss Estelle Wright followed next preceding the bride, who 
entered on the arm of her father, Mr. L.R. Wright, and they were met at the 
altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. Hansel Hillyer, where the ring 
ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. T.E. Wray, pastor of the church.

During the services, Mrs. Ogden rendered a sweet selection, “Because”, on the 
organ.

The bride was beautiful in her wedding gown of heavy duchess satin elaborately 
embroided, and trimmed in real lace.  She wore the conventional tulle vale, 
caught with lilies of the valley, and in the place of a bouquet, she carried an 
exquisite bridal wreath formed of lilies of the valley and orchids.

The maid of honor’s gown was fashioned of gold net over a pink satin 
foundation, and she carried an immense bouquet of American Beauties.

The bridesmaids wore green satin combined with chiffon and gold trimmings, and 
their bouquets were brides’ roses, showered with lilies of the valley, and tied 
with long streamers of felony white tulle.

After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Wright entertained with a brilliant reception 
at their home on College Street.  The home was artistically and lavishly 
decorated for the occasion.  The hall, drawing room, and living room were 
abloom with the shaggy blossoms of regal chrysanthemums, tall vases of these 
pretty autumn flowers being massed in the corners and at the sides of the wall.

An elegant buffet supper was served to all the guests, with the exception of 
the bridal party, who were seated at a beautifully appointed table in the 
dining room, where a color motif of pink and green was artistically carried out 
in all the details.  An immense wedding cake handsomely embossed with lilies of 
the valley and sweet peas, formed the centerpiece for the table, and encircling 
it were silver candlesticks burning wax tapers beneath pretty green shades.  
Garlands of smilax entwined the chandelier above, and hung in graceful sprays 
to the four corners of the table.

The places for each guest were marked by tiny heart shaped boxes of wedding 
cake.  The bride’s gift to her maids were beautiful broaches, and the groom 
presented his attendants with silver monogrammed card cases.

At a late hour the bride changed her wedding gown for a stunning suit of brown 
cloth with hat, shoes and gloves, of a harmonizing shade, and at 11:30 Mr. and 
Mrs. Jones left for an extended trip to Jacksonville, New Orleans and Cuba.
