A beautiful marriage ceremony was consummated in Holly Grove Church on yesterday at 12 a.m., when Miss Helen M. Freeman, a accomplished and very popular young lady of Cardinal, became the bride of Mr. C. Edward Forrest of Trinity. Rev. George Gowen performed the ceremony in a simple but impressive manner.
The church was beautifully decorated in evergreens and chrysanthemums, the color scheme being white and green, the bride, who was gowned in gray taupe suite with hat and gloves to match, was given in marriage by her father, Mr. J.J. Freeman. Miss Virginia Billups, maid of honor, wore light blue crepe-de-chine.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Forrest left on the steamer “Hampton Roads” from Auburn Wharf on a bridal tour. They will reside at Foster.
