Jordan – Jossey

A wedding of much social interest was that of Mr. James Weaver Jordan to Miss 
Maude Marie Jossey on last evening at 8:30 o’clock in the Methodist church 
which has been the scene of so many unions in the bride’s family.

The chancel was artistically decorated with typical palms and ferns.  Mrs. J.M. 
Matthews’ artistic taste was apparent throughout.

Mrs. Hugh Fairfax Wilkerson presided at the organ.  Promptly at the hour, 
Lohengrin’ Bridal March sounded on the scented stillness, and the ushers 
entered in the following manner, Mr. James Callier and Mr. Cox, opposite, Mr. 
J.N. Lucas and Mr. William Keller.  Following were, Mr. James Weaver Jordan and 
his brother, Mr. Robt. G. Jordan of Macon, Miss Maude Marie Jossey on the arm 
of her maid of honor, Miss Kate Mumford of Macon.  At the altar they were met 
by Rev. W.E. Mumford, uncle of the bride, who in an earnest, impressive manner 
pronounced the magic words uniting them for all eternity.

“Hearts and Flowers” sounded tenderly soft and sweet during the ceremony.  The 
bride was exquisitely gowned in a sunny chiffon over taffeta.  The skirt had a 
yoke and panels of rose point lace, the waist was elaborate with a bertha of 
point lace.  A veil of misty tuile was confined to the waves of soft brown hair 
by a magnificient sunburst of pearls and diamonds, a gift of the groom.  She 
carried a shower bouquet  of white carnations and maiden hair ferns.  The bride 
by her gentleness and sweetness has a large circle of friends.  She has 
traveled extensively, having crossed the continent seven times.  Mr. Jordan is 
one of Talbotton’s young business men.  Courteous and affable, he readily wins 
friends.  Miss Mumford was handsome in an elegant point d’esprit which fell in 
a pretty confusion of rucher(hard to read) over pink taffeta.  Point place 
completed a lovely toilette.  Pink carnations and maidenhair ferns formed her 
bouquet.  Mrs. Clara Leonard Jossey, mother of the bride, was queenly in a 
black silk net over duchesse satin with trimming of real lace.  She wore 
diamonds.  Mrs. Robert Jordan of Macon, was a handsome and notable figure.  The 
home of the bride’s grandmother, Mrs. M.E. Leonard, was like a woodland dell in 
its decorations of southern smilax and ferns.  The color motif was of rose pink 
and white.  Roses formed the central floral adornment.  The table was artistic 
in damask with rosy sash down the center, over which shone the mellow radiance 
of candelabra.  The china was in rare design, and the ices and cakes were in 
rose and white.

The remembrances displayed in the parlor were handsome.  Many gifts were  
wafted from the far Northwest. 

The happy couple have the good wishes of a wide circle of friends.
