   In a candlelight service Sunday, October 26, 1947 at 6:30 P. M., Miss Jewel 
Kitchens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Arthur Kitchens of Athens, Georgia, 
and Joseph K. Sammons, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Sammons of Hamlet, N. C., 
were married in the Comer Baptist Church with Rev. C. F. Tidwell officiating.  
The alter was decorated with palms, ferns, baskets of beautiful white dahlias, 
chrysanthemums and swainsona with six candelabra of long white candles.
   Miss Lucille Sassar, pianist, of Comer, and Michael Toole of Augusta, Ga., 
soloist, presented the musical program.  Musical selections included "Ah Sweet 
Mystery of Life," "At Dawning," and "I Love You Truly."
   Mrs. J. Polk Gholston of Comer, Ga., was Matron of Honor.  Her dress of 
Periwinkle Moiré was becoming to the blonde and was fashioned similarly to the 
bride's dress with draped and sheered neckline, fitted bodice, bustle effect 
and a small train.  Dainty tuck-ups in the front of the skirt featured nylon 
marquisette, and the head dress was also fashioned from this material.  She 
carried a nosegay of red roses.   Bridesmaids were Miss Carolyn Goodson of 
Atlanta and Miss Catherine Jenkins of Winder, Ga.  Their gowns were identical 
and of the same material as the Matron of Honor, having fitted bodices, tiny 
peplums and very full skirts.  Their headdresses were similar to the Matron of 
Honor also, and they carried nosegays of pink roses.  Flower girl was Little 
Yvonne Noel of Athens, Ga., whose dress was of pink moiré, with fitted bodice, 
full skirt and tiny tuck-ups.  She wore sweetheart roses in her hair and 
carried a nosegay of pink roses from which she scattered rose petals before 
the bride.

included J. A. Sammons, uncle of the groom-elect, Frank Cleveland of Athens, 
Lewis V. Kitchens or Winder, brother of the bride, Billy Alexander of Athens.
   The beautiful brunette bride, given marriage by her father, was gowned in a 
dress of ivory satin, featuring an off-the-shoulder effect with draped and 
shirred neckline, with dainty slencon lace yoke.  The fitted bodice had a 
bustle effect attained by a three-tiered ripple.  The long sleeves were 
pointed and buttoned.  The full skirt was tucked up in front, caught with bows 
of satin and trimmed in slencon lace, ending in a long train.illusion veil was 
caught to a coronet of pearls.  She wore a floating opal Lavaliere which was 
given to her by the groom.  She carried a prayer book with mother-of-pearl 
inlay which was sent from Palestine and loaned her by her sister-in-law, Mrs. 
Herman Kitchens of Atlanta, Georgia.  The prayer book was adorned with a large 
white orchid with sprays of tube roses and satin ribbons.
   Mrs. Kitchens chose for her daughter's marriage floor length dress of royal 
blue crepe with Venetian Lace Peplum.  She wore a corsage of pink carnations.  
Mrs. Sammons, mother of the groom, wore a pink crape dress with brilliants 
outlining the tunic.  Her flowers were white carnations.
   After the ceremony, Mrs. and Mrs. Kitchens entertained with a reception at 
the Comer Women's club.  The bride's going away costume consisted of a moss 
green velveteen suite, with brown accessories.   Her Kolinsky furs were the 
groom's gift to the bride and she wore a white orchid corsage.
