	The following from the Washington Evening Star will be of the interest to every Tulsan:
	Miss Marjorie Ruth Mertz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward P. Mertz, and Mr. Charles Carroll Nixon of 
Tulsa, Okla., were married last evening at the home of the bride’s parents, Cleveland Park, Rev. Charles Wood, 
pastor of the Church of the Covenant, officiated, in the presence of members of the families and a small company 
of personal friends.
	The house was elaborately decorated and the couple stood within a bower of flowers and plants for the 
ceremony.  The bride, who was escorted by her father, was gowned in white crepe meteor, with trimmings of duchess 
lace and pearl embroidery, with a finish of pearl fringe on the draperies of the skirt.  Her veil was held with a 
Juliet cap of pearls and a spray of orange blossoms, and she carried a shower of bride roses and lilies of the valley.
	Her attendants were Mrs. John M. Glover, matron of honor; Miss Sara J. Henderson, maid of honor, and Miss 
Mary Yeakle, Miss Hazel Magie, Miss Celestine Hodges, Miss Aurora Hodges, Miss Nan Mertz, cousin of the bride, and 
Miss Rae Schaefer, all of Washington, bridesmaids.  The best man was Mr. Clifford Carpenter.
	The matron of honor wore pink crepe de chine, veiled with pink marquisette, trimmed with crystal fringe, and 
the maid of honor wore green crepe de chine, veiled with green marquisette, with gold trimmings, and they both carried 
pink roses.
	The bridesmaids wore white French muslin, with caps of lace, each one of the six wearing streamers of different 
colored flowers, lavender, green, pale blue, pale pink, and yellow, the trimming of their caps matching the color of 
their flowers, which hung from their waists at the sides.  They entered carrying a rope of smilax, and formed an aisle, 
through which the bride and bridegroom passed, preceded by the flower girl, Miss Katherine Fenning, a cousin of the bride, 
who wore white French muslin over pink and carried a basket of pink and white sweet peas.
	The bride’s mother wore yellow satin veiled in embroidered gray chiffon, and Mrs. O.W. Nixon, mother of the 
bridegroom, wore pink just cloth over pink crepe.
	Mr. and Mrs. Nixon left last night for a honeymoon trip.  They will be at home in Tulsa, Okla., after January 15.
