Barnes - Lucas Wedding

A beautiful wedding at the home of Mrs. Wade* Hampton Barnes Thursday evening was that of Mr. Jas. Nathan Lucas and Miss Ella Mae Barnes.

The color scheme throughout the parlors was white and green walls and pictures wreathed in smilax.  In an alcove of ferns, palms and wedding bells, the ceremony was performed by Rev. W.Y. Allen of Thomaston.

The bridal party entered as Miss Elizabeth Ragland began Lohengrin's march.  Misses Marie and Mary Barnes, twin sisters of the bride, were Ribbon bearers.  Mr. Lucas was accompanied by Mr. Hamilton Pearce Weston.  The bride was preceded by her matron of honor, Mrs. Williamson of Montgomery, and entered with her maid of honor, Miss Carolyn Dennis.  "Annie Laurie" was softly played during the impressive ceremony.

The bride was lovely in a going-away gown of blue cloth.  She carried a bouquet of bride's roses.  She is a young woman of many charms and graces and has a wide circle of friends.

Mr. Lucas holds a responsible position, which he fills with ease and ability, and is held in high esteem both socially and in fraternal orders.

The matron of honor was gowned in champagne crepe, with black picture hat, and carried white carnations.  Miss Carolyn Dennis was sweet and fair in a toilet of white silk, velvet picture hat and red carnations.  The ribbon bearers wore white lingerie frocks.

A pre-nuptial dinner was served at 6 o'clock in which the party and immediate relatives participated.  The dining hall was aglow with rosy lights and crimson Christmas bells.  The table was vivid in its red and green decorations.  Streamers were suspended from the chandelier; holly and scarlet berries enhanced the brightness.  The centerpiece was a vase of white carnations on an elaborate lace mat.  The couple left on the midnight train for points in Florida.

*Note from submitter - The engagement announcement lists the bride's mother as Mrs. William Hampton Barnes while the marriage announcement lists Mrs. Wade Hampton Barnes.  If anyone knows the correct name, please let me know so this can be corrected.
