EXCHANGE MARRIAGE VOWS ANN THEODORE, JOHN WEIR
Ann Theodore and John Graham Weir, Saturday afternoon November the fif
teenth, at three, were married at the Theodore home at Wendel. The lo
ng living room was warm with candle light, and just at the pause befor
e the processional music, the bride´s young brother, John Jay Theodor
e lighted
the tall white floor tapers at either side of the mantle. Mantle-highb
askets of giant white mums crossed between the candles.
During the ceremony the wedding party stood all gravely unaware that
grandmother, grandfather, uncle, cousin, friend, at the farther end o
f the
room, were enjoying a perfect front view reflection in the broad mirro
r
above the fireplace.
Ann was given in marriage by her father, John Hartson Theodore. The b
eautiful double-ring ceremony was performed by the Reverend Carl H. Si
sson, and Mrs. Sisson was at the piano.
At the close of the ritual, Sargent Harry Weir on leave to act as bes
t man for his brother, proposed a toast to the happy pair, and since t
heir plans were for an early leave-taking, attention was directed to t
he tea table and collation centered by the sparkling bell capped weddi
ng cake.
