The Atlanta Constitution   17 Feb 1921
Miss Lenna Burdette Weds Lawrence Alvin McKinley 

The marriage of Miss Lenna Burdette and Lawrence Alvin McKinley was an 
interesting event of yesterday, and took place at 3.30 o'clock at the 
residence of the bride-elect's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B F Burdette on West 
Peachtree street, Dr. F C McConnell officiating. 

Palms and foliage plants decorated the apartmens, and the mantles were banked 
with ferns and vases were filled with pink carnations. The ceremony was 
performed in the drawing room and there was an improvised altar of palms and 
floor vases of stately Easter lilies, tall candelabra holding cathedral 
candles. 

Miss Pauline Trimble, the cousin of the bride, played the wedding march, and 
Mrs. Arthur Burdette, the bride's sister [sic-in law], sang a vocal 
selection.  

The little flower girls, Miriam Violet Copeland, niece of the bride, and 
Gladys Lewis, wore dainty frocks of organdie with pink sashes and hair 
ribbons.  The little ring bearer, Burdett Womack, wore a white suit. 

Miss Eunice Burdette was her sister's maid of honor, and wore a gown of blue 
taffeta, the flounces were pico-edged, a suggestion of red used in the picot.  
Her black hat had a transparent brim, the crown of French braid. Her flowers 
were pink flowers.  Paul Sutton acted as best man.

The bride was given in marriage by her father, B F Burdette, which whom she 
entered the room.  She was lovely in a tailored gown of midnight blue 
trictotine, embroidered in cut steel beads  combined with an embroidery of 
dark-blue silk with a thread of gold.  Worn with that was a gray blouse 
embroidered in steel, with a suggestion of cerise.  Her hat was a most 
becoming spring model of gray, made of a combination of braid and taffeta, a 
bow of blue velvet at the back and trimmed in dark gray and ostrich.

She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lillies of the valley.

An informal reception followed the ceremony, at which one hundred guests were 
entertained.

The lace covered table was adorned with a crystal bowl filled with pink and 
white carnations.  Surrounding this were crystal candlesticks, the whtie 
candles roseshaded. 

Mrs. Burdette, the bride's mother, was gowned in black satin and was assisted 
in receiving the guests by her daughters, Mrs. H S Copland, who was gowned in 
black taffeta, Mrs. G E Womack, who wore a blue silk gown embroidered in jet; 
Miss Audrey Burdette, who was gowned in midnight-blue taffeta, and Mrs. Arthur 
Burdette, whose gown was of brown Georgette and charmeuse her hat of henna and 
blue.

Mrs. McKinely [sic], the mother of the groom, wore a black lace gown.

Mr. and Mrs. McKinley left for a wedding journey in Florida and on their 
return, will reside at the Ridge Court apartments on Blue Ridge avenue.
