Highlands Highlights MRS. H. G. STORY Highlands Man And His 'Phone' Bride Wedded In Person Miss Thelma L. Heywood, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Granville, ol Birmingham, Eng land, became. the bride of Rich ard W Pearson, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Rockwell Nail, of High lands, in a ceremony March 12 in Carrabelle, Fla. The marriage vows were read by the Eev. R. W. MacBlain, pastor of the Car rabelle and Apalachicola Epis copal churches, before an altar banked with a profusion of palms and ferns with tall floor baskets holding calla lilies. Miss Anne WitherSpoon sang "I Love You Truly", and Mrs Oscar Johanneson sang "The Lord's Prayer", with Mrs. Grady Odgen at the organ. The tra ditional wedding marches were played by Mrs. Johanneson. The bride entered the church with Mr. Nail, who gave her In marriage, and was met at the altar by the bridegroom. She wore a gown of white brocaded satin and long flowering veil. \ Her flowers were white carna tions and orange blossoms. Mrs. Buford Duval, also of England, was matron of honor. She was gowned in aqua tulle and carried a bouquet of pastel gladioli. Ushers were Bill Wath en and Carlton Wathen. Immediately following the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Nail en- 1 tertained with a reception at the Brotherhood building of the Methodist church. This couple was married by telephone last August 2, hoping J thereby to hasten the bride's arrival in the States.
