Morning Ceremony For Miss Huston And A. R. Lawrence
The early Sunday morning ceremony chosen by Miss Mary Lea Huston for her marriage to Albert Russell Lawrence, was a beautiful home wedding occurring this morning at 8:30 at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin J. Huston at 1516 Waterman avenue. The families of the bride and groom and a small group of intimate friends were present. There were no attendants and the conventional music was omitted by choice of the principals.
Both bride and groom are members of the First Congregational church, and Rev. Henry B. Mowbray, the pastor, read the impressive words of the marriage ceremony which were sealed with the golden circlet.
The attractive bungalow of true Spanish type, with its setting of beautiful lawn and flowers, was a admirable frame for the lovely scene within. The fireplace on the south side of the living room was the background for a green bower in which the stalks of giant pink gladioli seem to grow, and on either side, tall floor baskets of the pink stalks were standing. A cluster of wedding bells ready to chime happiness hung above.
Into this bower the winsome bride stepped, a beautiful center, and plighted with her chosen mate, the marriage vows. She wore an exquisite frock of blush georgette, with lace and cutwork flounce effect in the same coloring finishing the skirt, and banding the skirt just below the long waist line. From shaded tones of the blush and tan, fell in long ends from the loops, a very lovely and unusual effect, the shimmering blush color of the entire costume being charming. The flowers were Cecil Bruner buds and rose pink sweet peas with maidenhair ferns, perfectly suiting the costume, as did the blonde pumps and stockings.
When the couple departed on the wedding trip later in the morning, a beautiful coat of warm tan with deep gauntlet cuffs of summer fox fur, and scarf collar, was added to the costume, with smart hat of woven Bancoo braid, with matching tailored band of ribbon. A raffia envelope purse embroidered in rose and tan combined the colors of the costume.
A wedding breakfast was served immediately after the ceremony at which merriment prevailed, and the good wishes and congratulations to the bride and groom, were "seconded" and "encored" during this happy hour. The table was entirely in white and gold, and was beautifully appointed. The china was from a set of 150 pieces of etched gold finish, in wild rose design, for which the bride has matching linen, the china being her own finished work, a part of the fine array of china she possesses, of her own work, which will adorn her home.
Four gold etched candlesticks which belong to the service, held tall white lighted candles, and the wedding cake was given the place of honor in the center, in its decoration of white flowers with miniature bridal pair, its topmost ornament. The places were marked with wedding bells topping standard on which were the names of the guests. The room was decorated in baskets of gold and white flowers.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence left this morning for a two weeks motor honeymoon trip along the coast north and south planning to visit the many interesting places between San Diego and Santa Barbara, Monterey and Carmel and San Francisco. When they return Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence will go to their own home, a new attractive bungalow in Seventh street. A visit in Los Angeles to Mr. and Mrs. Everett Hurd, the latter the bride's sister, is included in the plans for the trip. The Hurds came up from Los Angeles for the ceremony. Mrs. Hurd was formerly Miss Alta Huston.
The young couple will have unbounded good wishes for great happiness and success. They have received many evidences of the interest of friends since the announcement of their engagement on May 22, at a charming party, at which Mrs. Huston announced her daughter's betrothal. The bride received many courtesies and many beautiful gifts at parties given for her. She is a popular member of the Aloha club of business girls and a member of the Young Women's guild of the Congregational church and of the Bonne Fol bridge club. After graduating from the San Bernardino high school and a business college, she became a member of the clerical staff in the county recorder's office, and her marriage interests many friends in the courthouse circles.
The groom, a native son of San Bernardino, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Lawrence of 765 Mountain View avenue, the family being a pioneer one. He is a graduate of the high school and is connected with the stat highway commission in the equipment department. He is a member of the Arrowhead parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, and has many friends to congratulate him.
