Miss Nelly Bricken weds Mr. Knapp at Home Ceremony

A wedding of interest to many was that of Miss Nelly Bricken and William A. 
Knapp, which took place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
William M. Bricken, in Inman Park, on Thursday evening.

The house was decorated throughout in cut flowers and fern.  An altar of palms 
and chrysanthemums divided the large drawing room midway and stood in a gothic 
window arch.  On either side were a dozen burning tapers.  The ceremony itself 
was very simple and was performed by Rev. Dr. James Horton, S.M., in the 
presence of relatives and a few intimate friends.

Mrs. J.L. Hargrove played the wedding music.  “O Promise Me” and the wedding 
march was played.  Miss Rosella Bricken, sister of the bride, entered.  She 
wore a dark blue frock embroidered in bright colors with hat to match and 
carried Ophelia roses.  She was her sister’s only attendant.

The bride entered with her father.  Her three piece suit was of deep red 
duvetyn trimmed in fur.  Her hat was silver cloth garnished in silver lace 
with a red velvet rose at the side.  She carried bride’s roses and showered 
valley lilies.  They were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, 
Henry A. Knapp.

Mrs. William M. Bricken, mother of the bride, wore a copper colored gown 
trimmed in copper beads and fur.  Mrs. J.F. Knapp, mother of the groom was 
gowned in a midnight blue dinner dress.  Their corsages were of pink roses, 
violets and lilies of the valley.

The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bricken, who although not 
native Atlantans, have here many friends.  Miss Bricken attended school in New 
Orleans and later went to Kentucky, her parents’ home state, and finished her 
education there, graduating at St. Catherine’s in Springfield, Ky.

Mr. Knapp is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Knapp, of Thomasville, Ga.  
He is a graduate of Georgia Tech of the class of 1921, since which time he has 
made his home in Atlanta where he and his bride will reside.

Mr. and Mrs. Knapp left for their wedding journey through Florida.
