Rev. Charles Ackley Weds Miss Owsley
     The marriage of Miss Leonora Owsley and Rev. Charles Breck Ackley, of New 
York, took place Wednesday night at All Saints Episcopal Church, Atlanta and 
was witnessed by a large congregation of friends.
     The ceremony was performed by Bishop C. K. Nelson, assisted by Rev. Mr. 
Farland, and there was all the circumstance of flowers, music and a number of 
attendants to make the occasion impressive.
     The bridal party entered the church by the main aisle, which was lined 
with smilax-hung pillars, each supporting a tall candle that formed an aisle of 
light leading to the _______, which was embowered with palms, in the midst of 
which were tall vases of white chrysanthemums, and the alter, before which the 
vows were taken, was covered with white chrysanthemums.
     The bridesmaids were a charming group in their princess gowns of pink 
chiffon, with flat bouquets of pink chrysanthemums.
     The bride, who is a strikingly beautiful young women, was gowned in white 
satin and point lace, the model a simple, graceful one in princess empire 
fashion, her veil was caught with orange blossoms, and her bouquet was of 
orchids and lilies of the valley.
     After the ceremony at the church the bridal party was entertained at the 
home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. L. P. Owsley, on Crescent Avenue, and there a 
delightful hospitality was expressed.
     The house was handsomely decorated with palms and large bowls of pink and 
white chrysanthemums. Besides the reception rooms downstairs, there were 
several rooms on the upper floor, including the bride’s attractive studio, open 
to the guests. An orchestra played appropriate music and a buffet supper was 
served.
     Mrs. Owsley was handsomely gowned in gray satin, with silver embroidery 
and point lace. She was assisted in entertaining by Mrs. Pace, Mrs. Wootten, 
Mrs. John B. Gordon and Mrs. Burton Smith. Mrs. Pace wore black crepe de chine, 
and Mrs. Wootten wore black sequin gown.
     At midnight Rev. and Mrs. Ackley left for New York, where Mr. Ackley is  
rector of the Mission of St. Bartholomew.
     Mr. Ackley is held in high esteem by the Episcopal diocese of New York, of 
which he is considered one of the most scholarly and able ministers. His bride 
unites with beauty and winning charms of manner, usual accomplishments in art 
and music, and all these graces made for her a distinctive place in the social 
world. -Atlanta Constitution


Additional Comments:
These articles give two different marriage dates. I don't know which is correct.
