Trawick – Berry Wedding Beautiful Event

Columbus Enquirer-Sun

A much anticipated social event and around which interest centered was the 
wedding on Wednesday evening at St. Luke Methodist Church at 8 o’clock of Miss 
Marie Trawick and Mr. Charles Kinsel Berry.

The church was festive with an effective decoration of handsome palms and 
ferns, making a becoming background for the effective tableau of sweet 
bridesmaids and the groomsmen as they grouped themselves near the altar waiting 
the bride.

The music was a special feature of the evening, an additional soprano 
supplementing the octette.  Miss Corrine Russell, Miss Hazel Booth, Mrs. 
MacDougald Dexter, Miss Claire Booth, Mrs. Clarence Bush, Mr. McDexter, Mr. 
George Hamburger and Prof. Louise Chase at the organ.

Just before the bridal party reached the church the lovely strains were heard, 
sung by the choir, of the Bridal Chorus from Rose Maiden and as the hour chimed 
the brilliant and beautiful melody Loengrihn’s wedding march filled the air and 
softly came the bridal party.

The bridesmaids and grooms men alternating as they entered and met at the altar 
were: Miss Lillie Carson, Miss Cornelia Dudley, Mrs. Ben Key, matron of honor, 
Mr. Edwin Booth, Mr. A.C. Chancellor, Mr. Walter Smith, Mr. Forrest Wood, Mr. 
Paul Trawick, Mr. Richard Bruce and Mr. Patten of Birmingham.

The gowns worn by the maids were very becoming models of white Charmeuse, 
trimmed with lace and pearls and effectively set off by very handsome bouquets 
of Kilarney roses tied with voluminous streamers of pink gauze.  The maid of 
honor, Miss Gertrude Berry, was beautifully gowned in pink charmeuse, trimmed 
with duchesse lace and rivets of rhinestones, carrying herself with becoming 
grace and holding in her arms a bunch of the favored Kilarney roses.  A court 
train swept gracefully from the shoulders and an osprey graced her coiffure.

Then came the bride on the arm of her father, Mr. H.S. Trawick.  Known and 
admired by her friends since her residence in Columbus, as one of the most 
beautiful of the younger set, never looked more so than in her bridal robes.  A 
draped model of white charmeuse, trimmed with lace and shirred motifs of 
chiffon emphasized the girlish beauty to perfection, while a court train which 
fell from the shoulders and tulle veil caught with orange flowers would measure 
in inches far more than the height of the piquant dainty wearer.

The groom, whose best man was Mr. Roscoe Lummus, met the bride at the altar 
where Dr. Christie with unusual sweetness performed the ceremony.  Immediately 
following the marriage a reception was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. 
Nolan Dudley.  Changing her dress for a smart tailored one of dark blue with 
hat to match, Mr. and Mrs. Berry left for a tour of Florida amid the 
congratulations and best wishes of a host of friends.
