CJ ??s, oJom/ Cm fa Mrs. Carlton Niven - Phone 875-3785 Wedding Ceremony Held On The Banks Of Tne Buffalo (contributed) The morning dew was beginning to dissipate into the atmosphere as the sun rose higher over the horizon. It was soon evident that a hot humid day was in store for those friends and relatives who would be gathering for a wedding in the woods. Around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 23, folks began to arrive injeeps, trucks, and cars of all sizes. They gathered on a hill where shuttle ushers with their 4-wheel drive vehicles transported everyone down the rough, rutted, dusty, woods road to a cabin on the banks of Buffalo Creek. As guests arrived at the cabin they seated themselves outdoors underneath a multi-colored parachute for shade and listened to * the soft sounds of the creek rushing by. An altar made from cypress stumps and adorned with plants and flowers awaited the entrance of the wedding party. At 11:15 a.m., Lauchlin Gainey McFadyen and Linda Carpenter Elton walked in as Elizabeth Prince of Pinehurst played a lively Handel sonata on the flute. Ronald E. Becker of Raeford led the ceremony with some original opening remarks and a service he had compiled. An Apache poem closed the ceremony. A receiving line composed of the bride and groom, the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Carpenter, and the groom's mother, Mrs. Lacy D. McFadyen,greeted guests. A light picnic lunch followed with sausage and cheese biscuits, gazpacho soup, bean salad, deviled eggs, loaves of home-made whole wheat bread, carrot cake, and fruit punches. Contributors to the wedding feast were Mrs. George Ashley, Thomas and Juliet Evans, Carol Sealey, Mrs. Mildred Carpenter, Mrs. Joe Carpenter, Mrs. Lacy D. McFadyen, Miss Margaret Gainey and Miss Annie McKeithan. Later, friends of the bridegroom conspired to initiate him into the marriage rites properly and threw him into the creek. At that moment the bride and groom were saluted by an overhead pass from an airplane piloted by Larry Upchurch. The usher, Crawford Thomas, Virgil Carpenter, Harold Brady and Joe Carpenter Jr., began shuttling guests back to their vehicles on the hill. The couple left for a week's trip to Harker's Island.
