Drane – Jordan

Of the many June weddings that have taken place in Buena Vista, among the 
loveliest was the one Tuesday morning, June 30th., wherein Miss Mary Lou Drane 
became the wife of Mr. Eugene Roney Jordan, of Ellaville.

The day was one of those rare, perfect days that the poets write of, and the 
church seemed to breathe out from its exquisite decorations the very spirit of 
the occasion.

Beautiful simplicity was the keynote of the decorations: The chancel was a bank 
of “living green,” formed of graduated masses of palms, ferns and potted 
plants; while above the chancel and caught to the sides of the building were 
graceful festoons of southern smilax.  Almost concealed behind the palms was 
the piano, presided over by Miss Rebecca Mathis, and near her sat those who 
constituted the bridal chorus.

At ten o’clock the first note sounded and the choir sang with exceeding 
sweetness the bridal chorus from Lohengrin, “Faithful and True.”  As the last 
soft tones died away, all at once the triumphant sound of the wedding march 
from Mendelsohn filled the air, and the attendants began to move in the 
following order: There were four ushers who marched two by two, first, Mr. 
Aldine Pickard and Dr. John Walton came up the center aisle, crossed at the 
chancel and took their places on either side, then Dr. Lightner and Mr. 
Adolphus Battle took their places in the same manner.  The six bridesmaids, 
appropriately dressed in white linen coat suits and white hats, and carrying 
lovely bouquets of daisies, came in the following order: Miss Sara Bullock with 
Miss Lula McMichael, Miss Marguerite Drane with Miss Lynn Mathis, and Miss 
Imogene Sears with Miss Louise Oliver.  These crossed at the railing, but 
instead of standing by the ushers, grouped themselves within the chancel, 
facing the audience.  Next came the four ribbon bearers, Misses Minnie Drane 
Hornady, Mary Elza Sheppard, Elizabeth Drane and Martha Munro, prettily attired 
in pink and blue dresses.  Two by two, they stretched the long white ribbons 
down each side of the aisle.  Like twin fairy visions, Miss Pearl Hamner and 
Rebecca Moore appeared, and began to strew the path of the bride with pure 
white flowers.

The music thrilled with sweet announcement, as the bride, Miss Drane advanced, 
leaning on the arm of her sister, Mrs. Cecil Burt, who wore a handsome linen 
suit and carried daisies.  The bride near appeared more beautiful than then, in 
her stylish brown silk traveling suit and chic hat; all her appointments were 
perfect, and the carnations she carried were exquisite.

The groom, Mr. Jordan, with his best man, Dr. J.R. Jordan, of Ellaville, met 
the bride at the altar, and in a few impressive words the ceremony was 
performed by Rev. Ansley.

Again the strains of the march sounded and the party left the church in reverse 
order, the bride and groom driving immediately to the station.

All Buena Vista regrets to give up one of its most cultured and lovely young 
ladies; and hosts of best wishes are extended to her and the groom, who is one 
of Schley County’s finest and most promising young men.
