Miss Winstead, Mr. Murray
United In Home Ceremony
Beautiful in its simplicity and
dignity was the late afternoon
wedding of Miss Anna Wooding
Winstead, only daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Harry W. Winstead, of
this city, whose marriage to Wal
ler Raymond Murray, was solemn
ized at five o’clock in the late
afternoon on Friday, July 12, at
the Winstead residence on North
Main street. The vows were spok
en before the Rev. W. C. Martin,
pastor of Edgar Long Memorial
Methodist church, where the
bride and her family have mem
bership.
Shortly before the hour for
the nuptial rites Mrs. C. Richard
Wharton, aunt of the bride, of
Greensboro, and a distinguished
pianist, softly played Nevin's
“Venetian Love Song’’, from “A
; Day in Venice”, and “Sweet
hearts and Lovers” from McDo
well’s “Marionette”. Following
these selections Mrs. H. Wheeler
Newell sang Manna-Zucca’s, “Be
cause of You.”
At five o’clock as Mrs. Whar
ton began the “Bridal Song” from
Wagner’s “Lohengrin”, the first
to approach the improvised altar
in the spacious hallway was the
dame of honor, the bride’s sister
-in-law, Mrs. Wharton Winstead.l
of this city, who was her only
attendant, Mrs. Winstead des
cended the stairway and took her
place at the altar as the bride
groom and his brother, Lachlan
Murray, of Holyoke, Mass., en
tered from the side doorway.
Following the dame of honor,
the bride whose brunette beauty;
was enhanced by the soft ivory!
tones of her wedding gown, also
descended the stairs with her fa- J
ther, who gave his daughter (
in marriage. Meeting at the al-j
tar, she and the bridegroom gavej
their responses and then knelt on
the white satin pillow at the pre-1
dieu during the prayer, which
was followed by the benediction, I
Lutkin’s. “The Lord Bless You
and Keep You”, sung by Mrs.j
Newell. During the ceremony Mrs.
Wharton played McDowell’s “To
a Water Lily” and then change'
ed to Mendelssohn’s “Mid-Sum
mer Night’s Dream” for the re
cessional. j
Adding special significance to
the wedding was the fact that
Mrs. Wharton, as Miss Lessie
Lindsay, of Greensboro, was
musician at the wedding of the
bride’s mother and father, whoj
were married about thirty years
ago.
Also in keeping with the wed-j
ding of three decades ago was
the bride’s costume, a duchess'
satin gown worn by the bride's’
'"Other at the time of her mar-
riage to Mr. Winstead. Made in
the style of the period, with a
full ccurt train, the elaborate
dress with short sleeves of real
lace, V-shaped neckline, a fitted
waist and long, full skirt and a
lace-inserted tunic, was worn
practically without change by the
bride of 1940, who also wore her
mother’s satin and brocaded
slippers and carried a handker
chief of real lace which was car
ried by her paternal grandmoth
er at her wedding of three-quar
