	One of the prettiest weddings ever solemnized in Tulsa was that of Miss Lydia Gladys Savelle 
and Mr. Robert Ligon, which occurred at High noon, Wednesday, May fifteenth.  The wedding services 
were held at the home of the bride’s brother, M.J. Savelle, in Carleton Place, where everything was 
made beautiful for the occasion by exquisite floral decorations, the color scheme throughout the home 
being pink and white, cut flowers in these delicate tints, trailing smilax, ferns and palms all adding 
their beauty to the joy of the occasion.
	Just before the entrance of the wedding party, Miss Doris Bliss sang, “Because” and “A Perfect 
Day.”
	To the melodious strains of Lohengrin’s Wedding March, played by Mrs. Percy Knickerbocker, the 
wedding party descended the stairway in the following order:  Don Bowers, as groomsman; the groom, attended 
by his brother, Nat Ligon, as best man; Miss Bess Deshon and Miss Jessie Sterling as bridesmaids, and the 
bride on the arm of her brother, M.J. Savelle.  Beneath a handsome floral arch and wedding bell, between the 
parlor and dining room, they were met by the Rev. J.F. Savelle, of Nashville, Tenn., who assisted the ceremony 
which made this happy couple man and wife, and which was witnessed by fifty of their relatives and friends.
	The ceremony was followed by a reception at the home during which dainty ices and cakes, in pink and 
white, bearing the initials of the bride and groom were served.  Misses Jessie and Marion Gurd presided over 
the punch bowl.
	The bride’s wedding gown was a handsome white Duchess satin made en train, trimmed in Duchess lace 
and pearls and she wore a veil fastened on with a wreath of orange blossoms.  A cameo pendant, the gift of 
the groom and the groom’s fraternity pin were the only ornaments worn.
	The bridesmaids dresses were pink silk chiffon over real lace, and they wore picture hats of pink 
chiffon and roses.  The groom’s gifts to the bridesmaids were pearl pendants.
	Many elegant gifts of cut glass, silver, hand-painted china and linen were bestowed upon this happy 
pair from loving friends.
	Mr. and Mrs. Ligon left on the three forty train for the south.  At the SOC-GAL TWO station, while 
boarding the train, they were met by a host of their friends who showered them with rice, decorated their 
state room and baggage with ribbons, and wished them God speed on their happy journey through the south and 
where they will visit in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, visiting both the bride’s and groom’s 
old homes, before returning to Tulsa.
	The bride’s traveling costume was an imported gray linen coat suit, with gray hat and accessories 
to match.
	Mrs. Ligon is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Myles H. Savelle, of Mobile, Ala., but has made her home, 
for the past year or two with her brother and family in Tulsa, where she is one of the most beloved and popular 
members of a wide exclusive social circle, having won friends by the score by her magnetic personality.
	Mr. Ligon is one of Tulsa’s most prominent young men, both in social and business circles.
