A Correction

The approaching wedding of Miss Louise Respess Phillips, the charming daughter 
of Mrs. Harriet Respess Phillips, and Dr. Sidney Hoke Bryan, one of the best 
equipped as well as one of the most popular practioners in this section of the 
state, will be solemnized at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. L.M. Lucas, 
Wednesday afternoon August 7th at 3 o’clock and not at the home of Dr. and Mrs. 
Mangham, as published last week by a regrettable oversight.  The marriage of 
these, two of the most popular young people ever reared in Reynolds, is the 
universal topic of conversation with their many admiring friends.

Immediately after the marriage Dr. and Mrs. Bryan will leave for a delightful 
two-week’s honeymoon trip to many places of interest in the east and north.

Phillips-Bryan Wedding

The marriage of Miss Louise Phillips, the beautiful
daughter of Mrs. Harriet Respess Phillips, to Dr.
Sidney Hoke Bryan, a physician of prominence and a
model young man, was solemnized at the home of the
bride’s sister, Mrs. Lewis Lucas, at 3 o’clock, the
Rev. Z.T. Weaver of this place performing the ceremony
in his own inimitable and impressive way.  The
attendants were as follows:


Miss Ethel Lucas and Mr. Paul Hodges, Miss Claribell
Ingram and Mr. Jake Weaver, Miss Martha Kendrick and
Mr. Howard Neisler.  Mr. Thurman Whatley was best man,
and entered with the groom.  Miss Margaret Phillips, a
lovely blonde sister of the bride was maid of honor and
entered alone.  The bride, a brunette of marked beauty
and grace, entered with her brother-in-law, Mr. W.O.
Tarver, and was handsome in her traveling suit of tan,
with hat and gloves to match.  Her exquisite bouquet of
lace fern and pure double white China asters was tied
with long streamers of tulle.


The bridesmaids were all gowned in dainty lingerie
dresses and carried bouquets of flesh tinted asters
with lace fern, tied with tulle of the same delicate
shade.


Just preceding the bridal party’s entrance, Miss Ella
Bess Phillips, another sister of the bride, whose
queenly carriage and brunette beauty was marked with
dignity on this happy occasion, sang sweetly and with
pathos “I Love You Truly” accompanied by Mrs. T.W.
Pool, who also played Mendelssohn’s Wedding March,
rendering “Soft and Low”, a favorite melody of the
bride, during the ceremony.


The bridal party formed a semicircle in front of
towering palms whose majestic grandeur reached almost
to the ceiling, forming a fairy-like background for
handsome youths and lovely maids.


The drawing room, in which were exhibited two large
tables filled to overflowing with cut glass and silver,
as well as handsome rugs and squares, gifts to the
bride and groom, was artistically decorated with ferns
and cut flowers.


Immediately after congratulations the happy couple left
for an extensive trip to various places of interest
North, boarding the train under a shower of rice and a
wealth of good wishes from their hosts of friends.
