The Covington News, October 27, 1915
OWENS-BERRY
     The most attractive and interesting feature of the season was the wedding 
of Miss Mattie Lou Owens to Mr. Charles H. Berry, at the home of the bride’s 
parents, Sunday afternoon, near Covington.
     The porch on which the wedding took place was beautifully decorated. 
Around the edge of the porch were vines and ferns in which clusters of Golden 
Rod were entwined. Around the columns vines, with clusters of red berries, 
circled, giving an unusual brilliancy, softened by the sunset glow.
     To the strains of Mendelssohn, rendered by Mrs. Carl Park, the couple 
marched out and stood in front of a great bank of ferns, over which was an arch 
gracefully draped with vines.
     The bride was dressed in a going away suit of midnight blue gabardine, 
with a waist of flesh colored Georgette crepe which harmonized with her 
beautiful brown eyes and hair. Her hat was a rich velvet turban, trimmed in a 
wreath of gilded leaves and an effective white aigrette.
     She carried an exquisite bouquet of brides roses and ferns.
     The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Askew, Pastor of Almon Methodist 
Church.
     The couple left immediately for the home of the groom.
