Chapel Setting For Military Wedding Rites

 An impressive military wedding at the Schofield chapel Thursday evening was 
that of Miss Jean Catherine Taylor, daughter of Lieut. Col. and Mrs. Charles 
M. Taylor, and Lieut. Sanford W. Horstman, son of Mrs. John Stewart of St. 
John, Kansas. Bishop S. Harrington Littell of St. Andrew's Cathedral in 
Honolulu read the nuptial service at 8 o'clock in the presence of an 
assemblage largely representative of Army circles.
 The church was arranged throughout with white blossoms accented by pink 
gladioli. Standards of St. Joseph's lilies, ginger, tuberoses and gladioli 
against a background of palms banked the chancel. On either side of the altar 
were tall vases of calla lilies with cathedral tapers glowing in five-branch 
candelabra. White flowers and ti-leaves were caught to the pews in the center 
aisle.
 The bride, escorted by her father, was lovely in a longsleeved model of white 
filmy net over satin, designed with a bouffant skirt, and close-fitting 
bodice. The sweeping court train of satin extended from a panelled back and 
over this cascaded the tulle veil held to the back of the coiffure with orange 
blossoms. Lilies-of-the-valley, gardenias and a shower of Mexican creeper 
formed the bridal bouquet.
 Mrs. John A. Cleveland, matron of honor, chose ashes of roses organza. Narrow 
ruching detailed the neckline and hem of the circular skirt. A tiara, and an 
old-fashioned nosegay of forget-me-nots were attractive floral contrasts.
 Miss Guila Chunn and Miss Anne Magruder, bridesmaids, wore shell pink and 
aquamarine lace respectively. Fashioned on silhouetted lines with short 
sleeves and upstanding collars, a wide organdy flare featured the bottom of 
the skirts which terminated in terse trains. The other two bridesmaids, Miss 
Ruth Ellen Patton and Mrs. John Wilson, were frocked in pale orchid and 
delicate canary chiffon made with full waltz skirts and short puffed sleeves. 
Smocking at the waistlines emphasized the new peasant mode. The four 
attendants carried French bouquets in colors to match their ensembles, and 
wore coronets of the same flowers.
 Mrs. Taylor, mother of the bride, was gowned in navy blue marquisette 
complemented by an Eton jacket of white organdy. Her corsages was of gardenias.
 Lieut. John N. Wilson, son of Brig. Gen. and Mrs. W. K. Wilson, CAC, USA, was 
best man. He is a cousin of the bride and West Point classmate of the 
bridegroom. Ushers forming the arch of swords for the recessional included 
Lieut. Theodore G. Bilbo, Jr., Lieut. John A. Cleveland, Lieut. Frank L. Higgs 
and Lieut. Robert M. Stillman.
 A profusion of flowers and palms decorated the patio and living rooms of the 
Taylor home for the reception held immediately after the ceremony. The new 
Mrs. Horstman, true to Army tradition, cut the tiered cake with her husband's 
saber.
 After a short wedding trip the young couple will occupy quarters 1009 at the 
garrison.
 Mrs. Horstman is a graduate of Kent Place, Summit, N.J., and of Pine Manor 
Junior College in Wellesley, Mass.
 Lieut. Horstman graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1935 and 
is at present on duty with the 8th Field Artillery.
