The Henry County Weekly, November 9, 1923
CARMICHAEL- MOORE
     A marriage of interest to a wide circle of friends here and throughout the 
state was that of Miss ESTHER CARMICHAEL and Mr. ARNOLD EVANS MOORE at the home 
of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Carmichael on Key’s Ferry St.
     This marriage is unique in that it celebrated the 23rd anniversary of the 
marriage of the bride’s parents, falling on the same day of the week and the 
same impressive ring ceremony being performed by the same minister, Rev. R. L. 
Bell of Ala at the same hour.
     The spacious drawing room in its bridal white and green made a lovely back 
ground for bridal party.
     The improvised altar of palms and ferns, with floor baskets of beautiful 
white chrysanthemums and soft lighted tapers added to the charm of the scene.
     Mrs. A. W. Walker elegantly gowned in brown lace met the guests, while 
Miss Mary Ammons in rose canton crepe and Mrs. A. M. George in blue embroidered 
georgette, registered the guests in the bride’s book.
     Miss Evalyn Carmichael in rose crepe de chine, Miss Alice Carmichael in 
yellow crepe de chine, Miss Leonora Weems in rose georgette made a charming 
trio who gracefully presided over the punch bowl.
     Mrs. J. M. Carmichael, mother of the bride, wore a handsome gown of blue 
satin back canton crepe with a corsage of yellow ward roses.
     Mrs. H. T. Moore, mother of the groom wore an elegant gown of black canton 
crepe heavily beaded and her corsage was of white carnations.
     While the guests were assembling a program of nuptial music was rendered 
by Miss Annie G. Thompson while Miss Nell Mitcham of Hampton, sang “At Dawning 
and Because.”
     To the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march the bridal party came down 
the broad stairway and entered the drawing room.
     Mrs. O. J. Ousterhoudt, matron of honor and sister of the bride, was 
gowned in pale blue taffeta trimmed in silver lace and carried a pink 
chrysanthemums.
     Miss Lillian Carmichael, maid of honor, sister of the bride, wore an 
orchid taffeta and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. 
     Miss Martha Baker of Griffin, bride’s maid, wore yellow taffeta and 
carried yellow chrysanthemums.
     The flower girls, little Misses Georgia Walker and Trellis Carmichael were 
gowned in pink crepe de chine and carried floral wands.
     Little Caroline Carmichael, baby sister of the bride, was ring bearer and 
wore white crepe de chine with bridal veil falling gracefully from her head.
     The bride, lovely in her gown of white georgette trimmed in seed pearls 
and pearl ornaments, carrying a bouquet of orchids showered with valley lilies, 
entered with her father who gave her in marriage. She was met at the altar by 
the groom and his best man, Mr. Frank Moore.
     Another brother of the groom Mr. Norman Moore, served as groomsmen.
     After the ceremony an informal reception was held. Gorgeous yellow 
chrysanthemums in silver baskets were placed in nooks and corners of the other 
spacious rooms and especially beautiful was the bride’s table with its cover of 
cluny lace and center decoration of silver basket of magnificent white 
chrysanthemums. Alternately were placed silver compotes of green, white, mints 
and silver candlesticks holding white lighted tapers tied with green tulle.
     Mr. and Mrs. Moore left during the evening for a short bridal tour after 
which they will make their home at Hampton, Ga.
