Covington – McBryde

One of the prettiest social events of the season occurred at Upatoie church at 
high noon Wednesday the 6th of Dec.  Twas the marriage of two of our most 
popular young people, Miss Ruby Ethel Covington and Mr. Robert Lee McBryde of 
Geneva.

It was the pleasure of the writer to be at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. 
William Covington when the most sumptuous luncheon was served, the bridal 
party, thence to the church where we found it elaborately decorated with vines, 
roses, ferns and chrysanthemums.

Mrs. Geo. Edge of Geneva presided at the organ and the party entered by the 
sweet strains of Lohengrin’s march and were grouped about the chancel.  First 
couple were Miss Blanche King of Box Springs, Miss Iva Johnson of Brantley, 
Miss Lucile King of Cusseta, Miss Elba Covington next, Miss Willie Edge of 
Geneva and Miss Smithie McLendon, these young ladies were bridesmaids.  Madames 
A.B. Burns, J.L. Jenkins, Edgar Stevens of Columbus and Mrs. W.C. Jenkins of 
Upatoie, were Matrons of Honor.  They came in and stood inside of chancel.  The 
groom with his brother, Mr. Marvin McBryde, was met at the altar by the Rev. 
J.O.A. Cook, where he waited for the bride who came in with her sister, Miss 
Eva May Covington.  The ceremony was very impressive during which “Hearts and 
Flowers” was sweetly rendered.

The happy couple left immediately on a tour through Fla. followed by many good 
wishes and showers of rice.

Mrs. McBryde is possessed with many charming traits of character which endear 
her to all who know her.  Mr. McBryde is a fine businessman and has a score of 
friends.

The popularity of this young couple was demonstrated by the many beautiful and 
costly gifts received.

May their lives be one of unalloyed happiness, is the sincere wish of the 
writer.
