Suzanne Gill Is Lovely Bride In Military Rites

 The green and white motif predominated in arrangements for the military 
wedding of Miss Suzanne Gill, daughter of Liuet. Col. and Mrs. William H. Gill 
of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, and Lieut. Frank P. Norman Jr., son of Dr. and 
Mrs. F. P. Norman of Columbus, Ga., at half after five o'clock yesterday 
afternoon at the Schofield chapel. Chaplain John T. Axton, Jr., read the 
nuptial lines in the presence of 175 frineds from the garrison and Honolulu.
 Calla and Easter lilies banked by tropical palms formed the wedding setting 
which the bridal party approaced through an aisle of maile fastened to 
standards of lilies. Glowing tapers gave the soft light for the ceremony.
 The attractive bride, escorted by her father, chose a gown of white lace, 
beautiful in its simplicity. It was fashioned on silhouetted lines emphasized 
by the sweeping court train and close-fitting sleeves. The misty tulle veil 
fell from a coronet cap finished in pleated ruching. The bridal flowers were 
lilies-of-the valley, roses and orchids.
 Miss Virginia Parrott, maid of honor, wore Nile green chiffon, designed with 
an accordian pleated cape. Shirring at the shoulders and waist achieved the 
fullness in the bodice and floor-length skirt. In lovely complement to the 
gown she carried Cecil Bruner and yellow roses accented by forget-me-nots.
 Lieut. Jack Roberts, Air Corps, of Wheeler Field, was best man. The ushers, 
all West Point classmates of the bridegroom included Lieut. Charles 
Billingslea, Lieut. Robert S. Blodgett, Lieut. Andrew D. Chaffin Jr., Lieut. 
Wright Hiatt, Lieut. Clyde L. Layne and Lieut. Edmund W. Miles. Their swords 
formed the traditional arch of steel for the recessional.
 A reception held at the Schofield club followed the ceremony. The bride's 
table, arranged with lilies and greenery, held the tiered wedding cake. This 
the new Mrs. Norman cut with her husband's gleaming saber in accordance with 
time-honored Army custom. During the tea, the Twenty-seventh Infantry 
orchestra, which had played soft string music for the wedding, entertained for 
dancing.
 The young couple left for a short honeymoon on Oahu, after which they will be 
at home at the garrison. The bride traveled in a white sharkskin suit detailed 
in navy blue. Her accessories were also navy blue.
 Mrs. Norman is a graduate of Holton Arms School, Washington, D.C. Lieut. 
Norman attended Emory University, Atlanta, Ga., and graduated from the United 
States Military Academy in 1936. He has been stationed with the Signal Corps 
at Schofield since last December.
