JOE MARICELLI & LILLIAN BARBEROUSE


A marriage of great interest which took place Thursday morning at 8 o'clock
Nuptial Mass was that of Mr. Joe Maricelli and Miss Lillian Barberouse.

Tho' no invitations were issued the church was filled with admiring friends of
both parities.

To the strains of Mendelashon's wedding march played by Mrs. Frank Gallaspy
the bride and her mother, Mrs. Paul Barberouse, walked up the aisle and met
the groom with his attendant, his brother, Jules Maricelli, at the foot of the
altar, there to plight their troth and according to the beautiful impressive
ritual of the Catholic church Father Pluts pronounced them husband and wife
after which the nuptial mass was celebrated.  This mass call special blessings
upon the married couple and continues the solemn nuptial ceremonies.

During the singing of the register Mrs. Earl Perot sang expressively "O
Promise Me". Appropriate hymns were sung during the mass. Presiding at the
organ was Mrs. Edward Fredieu (Mena Maricelli).

The bride wore a handsome brown silk canton crepe embroidered in henna with a
heavy fur hat, shoes and gloves to match. She is of petite figure and her rose
complection blending with her attire made a picture of loveliness. The bride
is a high school graduate, has been teaching for several years and is a young
lady of sweet and gentle manner.

The groom is the youngest son of the late William Maricelli and has been
valuable assistance to his mother in managing the farm since his father's
death. He is quiet, painstaking, industrious, young man, with a jolly, amiable
disposition.

Mr. and Mrs. Maricelli left on the evening train for the Southern part of the
state and on their return will be at home in the Maricelli residence on their
plantation.

They were the recipients of many lovely and useful presents.
