The Marion County Patriot dated 10/27/1899

Lanier - Wooten

That was a happy wedding at the home of Mrs. A. P. Wooten, Thursday afternoon, 
Oct. 26th, at one o'clock, that united the hearts and lives of Miss Anna Howard 
Wooten and Mr. Phillip Lanier, of West Point, Ga.

As the sweet strains of  the Bridal Chorus, rendered by Miss Lucille Lowe, 
floated across the company, Misses Mina Wooten and Bennie Fontaine, entered the
parlor, carrying ribbons that extended from the door to a handsome bank of 
green on the opposite side of the room. Following Misses Wooten and Fontaine, 
came Misses Lanier and Alexander, the four forming an archway through which the 
remainder of the bridal party passed.  The handsome groom entered with his
brother, Mr. Horace Lanier.  The maid of honor, Miss Lizzie May Wooten, 
preceded the lovely bride, who leaned upon the arm of her brother, Mr. William 
C. Wooten.  Rev. Geo. S. Johnston immpressively pronounced them husband and 
wife with the ring ceremony.  Immediately the company repaired to the
dining room where an elaborate breakfast was served by Misses Lillian and Lois 
McMichael, Minnie Lowe, Annie Tharpe and Willie Bell Watthews.

The rays of sunlight were shut out, and the home within, was brilliantly 
illuminated.  In the parlor, smilax crept above the mantel, whose mirrors
reflected the cut glass bowls filled with fragrant white flowers.  Dainty 
bamboo, graceful, feathery ferns, and majestic palms were additional ornaments
to this already beautiful apartment.  In the sitting room, quantities of Golden 
Rod and rich, bright-colored autumn leaves with red berries, suggested the 
season.  The dining room was a scene of rare radiance.  Here, the color scheme 
of green and white prevailed.  Vine draperies were used in profusion.
The snowy beauty of the large round table, upon which the bridal breakfast was 
served, was rendered peculiarly striking by the antique candelabra.

The fair, happy, young bride was becomingly robed in a pale grey costume of 
cripe de chine, trimmed in real lace.  Her bouquet was of Bride's Roses,
emblematic of happy love.  The bridesmaids wore elegant day toilets, and 
carried LaFrance roses.

Mrs. Lanier is a young women of many admirable traits.  Combined with her 
beauty and intellectuality, she possesses amialbility, a bright sunny 
disposition and the rare virtue of simplicity. Those who know her best, can 
most heartily congratulate the fortunate groom upon winning her for his life-
long companion.

Mr. Lanier is a young man of sterling qualities, wide-spread popularity and 
prominence in business circles.

Rarely is there ever seen such an array of handsome wedding gifts  as this 
couple recieved.  Six large tables were ladened with presents of gold, silver,
china and cut glass.  Perhaps the most valuable gifts were a set of china of 
white and gold presented by the bride's family, and a complete chest of silver, 
a gift of the groom's family.

The hosts of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Lanier, all over the state extend their 
best wishes to them in this new step that they have taken in life's journey.  
May the future hold for them nought but peace, happiness  and prosperity.
