daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Weeks, of

of friends present at the service, which was
choral. Wagners's Bridal March greeted the

up the aisle on the arm of her father.

The bride wore an ivory charmeuse dress, with a court train trimmed
with silver lace, and her bridal veil was held in place by sprays of
orange blossom. She carried a bouquet of lilies, the gift of the
bridegroom.
The bridesmaids were Miss E. Weeks (sister of the bride), Miss M.
Weeks, Miss S. Piper, and Miss J. Weeks. They wore dresses of pale
blue taffeta and carried bouquets of yellow chrysanthemums, the
gifts of the bridegroom.
