The Georgia Enterprise, August 18, 1899
Pitts - Corry
     A lovely home wedding was that of Dr. John Alexander Corry, late of 
Greensboro, and Miss Ailene Pitts, of Newborn, which occurred at the beautiful 
home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mr. John L. Pitts, Monday afternoon, at 
4:30 o’clock.
     The house was most artistically decorated with palms, ferns, cut roses, 
and other rare decorative plants.
     The bride is the second daughter of Mr. John L. Pitts, one of the most 
prominent and prosperous merchants of Newborn. Miss Pitts possesses besides, a 
lovely nature, youth beauty and wealth.
     The handsome young groom is a popular physician. His qualifications and 
social standing are of the highest, and he richly deserves the companion whose 
heart he has won.
     The ceremony was performed at 4:30 p. m. in the presence of  an assemblage 
of about seventy guests, all relatives or near friends of the contracting 
parties.
     At the appointed hour, to the time of Mendelssohn’s  Wedding March, 
rendered most beautifully by Miss Alice Pitts, the happy young couple entered, 
unattended and preceded by Rev. E. G. Smith, of Greensboro, the officiating 
minister. The bridal party advanced to a position in the front drawing room of 
the residence, where Rev. Mr. Smith performed the beautiful ring ceremony.
     The bride never looked lovelier. She stood clad in shimmering white 
Duchess satin trimmed in Pearl Passementre and Point Lace, she carried a 
bouquet of bride’s roses, tied with satin ribbon.
     The groom wore the regulation black suit. The going away gown of the bride 
was tan and brown mixed broadcloth silk lined and tailor made.
     After the customary flood of congratulations the bridal party were driven 
to the depot amid a shower of rice and the very best wishes they boarded the 
train to enjoy the balmy breezes of North Georgia.
