Danielsville Monitor, 3 July 1925
On Friday afternoon at 6:00 o'clock in the home of Mr. C. B. Newton on 
Prince Ave., his oldest daughter, Marian, was married to Rev. John A. 
Simpson.

Their marriage held in full measure the distinguished charm of a home wedding; 
the evidence of affection and its personal touch being soon everywhere, from 
the effective decorations to the array of beautiful gifts. 

The bridal white and green was a cool and charming background for the 
pleasing picture which the wedding group formed.

The ribbon bearers, Morris Bryan, Jr., and Frances Prickett, with youthful 
dignity, made the way up the aisle and gave the ribbons into the hands of the 
bride's sisters.  Misses Katherine, Virginia and Charlotte Newton, and these 
young girls in orchid blue and white afternoon dresses held the white outline 
of wedding group during the ceremony.  Little Sarah Bryan, with her burden 
of blossoms, preceded the maid of honor, Miss Janet Newton, who in flame 
colored Georgette and white roses was strikingly handsome.

The bride in an ensemble dress of richly embroidered white silk entered with 
her father and met the groom at the altar.

While the brides shower bouquet seemed just the fitting and graceful finish to 
her costume there was a unique interest in the fact that her orange blossoms 
had been worn on the wedding veils of her grandmother, her mother and her aunt.

Miss Mary Ferguson played the Lohongrin march for the entrance and with 
exquisite softness sent forth the notes of the Bercouso from "Jocelyn" which 
in no way lessened the solemnity but added beauty to the stately ceremony of 
Dr, S.J, Cartledge.

On the shaded porches the guests enjoyed the delicious supper and then 
gathered in the dining room which was gay with pink gladiola and sweet peas 
for the "cutting of the cake." Here again the intimate touch was seen for this 
creation all wreathed around with tine roses and overlaid with larger ones 
was the work of Miss Katherine Newton.  Before this interest was over the 
bride's bouquet was thrown and caught by Miss Lois Grimes and then came 
the amusing game of eluding the fun makers; after cleverly avoiding pitfalls, 
Mr. and Mrs. Simpson left by motor for the North Carolina mountains, the 
bride's going away dress of soft green with close hat matching being most 
becoming.

The out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs., T. C. Newton of Washington, DC, 
Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Bush, Lawrenceville, Ga. Judge Rice of Waycross, 
Mrs. Sara Southworth of Connecticut, Mrs. W.O. Simpson, of Toccoa, Mrs. 
John A. Simpson, Jr. and Ben White Simpson of Commerce, Mr. and Mrs. 
Thompson, Anderson, S.C., Mrs. Carl Prickett, Savannah, Miss Helen Ferguson, 
of Madras India, and Mr. and Mrs. William Bryson who had just returned from 
their wedding journey in Virginia and the Carolina mountains.
