Garrett-McLarty Wedding Marked with Beautiful Church Ceremony

A marriage marked by beauty and dignity and one of wide social interest was 
that of Miss Marie Garrett to Mr. Paul McLarty which took place Friday at 12 
o’clock at the Methodist church. Rev. W. E. Hightower performed the ring 
ceremony in the presence of a large assemblage of Butler friends and 
relatives and out-of-town guests.

The church was beautifully decorated with palms and ferns and the altar was 
banked with greenery interspersed with baskets of gardenias and oleanders. 
The arch under which the bridal party stood was garlanded with smilax with a 
large cluster of water lilies suspended from the center. On each side of the 
steps leading to the sanctuary were floor baskets of gardenias and the 
chancel rail was garlanded with smilax and had at each end a tall basket of 
the same beautiful flowers. Pews reserved for the families were marked with 
clusters of water lilies with white satin ribbon.

As the guests assembled a program of nuptial music was rendered by Mrs. Guy 
Whitehead at the piano. Mrs. J. W. Edwards sang “Until” and “All for You.” 
During the ceremony “Love Dream” by Leizt was played very softly on the 
violin by Mrs. Edwards.

Wedding Party

As the first strains of Mendelssohn’s Wedding March pealed forth the ushers 
entered and took their places about the altar. They were Mr. Harry Moore of 
Thomaston and Mr. Virgil Dickey of Macon.

The bridesmaids were Miss Mary Gill and Miss Marjorie McMichael of Buena 
Vista. They wore afternoon dresses of deep orchid mousseline de soir, 
fashioned with puffed sleeves and Peter Pan collar and featuring plated 
ruffles of the same material. They wore picture hats of leghorn trimmed with 
flowers of pastel shades and carried shower bouquets of pink rosebuds and 
valley lilies, tied with pink tulle.

Miss Martha Benns was maid of honor. Her gown was like those worn by the 
bridesmaids but was of pale orchid.

Lovely Bride

The youthful bride, her picturesque blond beauty enhanced by her wedding 
gown, entered on the arm of her father, Dr. Eli Garrett, and was met at the 
altar by the groom and best man, Mr. Jack McLarty of Atlanta. The bride wore 
a bridal costume of white lace fashioned with high neckline caught at the 
throat with a lovely seed pearl ornament and matching ornament at the waist. 
The sleeves were long extending over the hands in points. The veil, made 
coronet style was of Brussels lace and posed over billows of illusion tulle. 
She carried a prayer book of white silk showered with valley lilies and 
white satin ribbon.

Mrs. Eli Garrett, the bride’s mother, wore navy blue georgette and her 
corsage was of gardenias. Mrs. M. W. McLarty, mother of the groom, was 
gowned in light blue chiffon and her flowers were gardenias.

Breakfast

After the ceremony the bride’s parents entertained the bridal party and 
immediate families of the bride and groom with a breakfast. The home was 
decorated with palms, ferns, gardenias and pink roses.

Assisting in entertaining were Mrs. M. E. Everett of Macon, Mrs. L. E. 
Watkins of Columbus, and Mrs. J. E. Wards, I.

The bride’s table was centered with a three-tiered wedding cake, reposing 
upon a mound of ferns and flowers, and was topped with a miniature bride and 
groom. Candelabra containing lighted white tapers completed the arrangement.

Mr. and Mrs. McLarty left for a week’s trip through North Carolina. Mrs. 
McLarty traveled in navy blue sheer gown which featured a scalloped white 
pique collar and her accessories were of navy. She wore a shoulder spray of 
valley lilies. Upon their return Mr. and Mrs. McLarty will reside in 
Thomaston where Mr. McLarty holds a responsible position as superintendent 
of the sanforizing department of the textile mills of Thomaston since his 
graduation from the Georgia School of Technology in the class of 34. Mrs. 
McLarty is an accomplished musician. She attended Andrew College and later 
received an A. B. degree from Georgia State College for Women.
