By MRS. CARL A. McENTIRE
Hello Everyone:
If the announcement of my
marriage comes as a surprise to
you just remember that it is even
a greater surprise to me . . . for I
didn’t think »♦
; either.
I just wish all of you could
have been there. It was the
loveliest wedding I have ever at
tended . . . because it was mine.
Carl and I were married oi
Friday night, July 21, at 8:30
o’clock at the home of my aunt
and uncle, Mr. and Mrs, Egbert
Gribble in Charlotte. There were
no attendants (I wouldn’t risk an
other woman that close to the
altar until the knot was tied). We
entered together and spoke the
vows in the sunroom wM was
aranged with, fern, floor ets
of white gladioli and ocven-
branched candelabra holding tall
Cathedral tapers which cast
soft glow over the scene. The
home throughout was arranged
with cut flowers and lighted with
white candles. Miss Edna Black,
florist, decorated the home and
arranged the altar and I want
you to know that she did an extra
special job too for it was beau
tiful. Her gift to the bride was a
lovely purple orchid which I
wore on my wedding trip.
The Rev. W. G. Thomas, pas
tor of West Asheville Presby
terian Church, Asheville, perform
ed the ceremony using the double
ring service. It meant so much to
me to have Mr. Thomas for this
happy occasion for he was very
close to our family during the six
years he was pastor of the Pres
byterian Church in Mount Holly
and especially during the illn^
and death of my mother. Some
how, having Mr. Thomas here,
brought my mother very near to
me.
The wedding music was pre
sented by my cousin, Mrs. Ray
mond Alexander, of Charlotte
with Mrs. J. Watt Kirkpatrick also
of Charlotte, giving the vocal
numbers. Mrs. Alexander’s num
bers included “At Dawning” by
, Cadman; “Clare de Lune” by
Debussy; “Because” by D’Harde-
lot; “Kammenoi Ostrow” by
Rubinstein: “If God Left Only
You” by Densmore and “Medi
tation from Thais” by Massenet.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick sang “O Promise
Me” by DeKoven and “I Love
You Truly” by Bond. The tradi
tional wedding march was used
as the processional and during
the ceremony Mrs. Alexander soft-
ly played my mother’s favorite
selection, “The World is Wait
ing for the Sunrise.”
And what did the bride wear
for this memorable occasion . . .
Stars in my eyes, a glow on my
face and a song in my heart. Of
less importance I chose a street
length dress of navy sheer over
taffeta with tailored bodice, short
sleeves and full skirt and a tiny
hat of navy straw with shoulder
length veil. My flowers were
gardenias and always in year 5 to
come the delicate perfum». rj
these flowprc
memories of my wedding night
and I’ll remember the gladioli
which were later banked against
a stone marked “Gribble” and
my two gardenias which were
placed o’er the heart of my
mother.
No wedding is complete with
out the honeymoon so we spent
several days in Toccoa, Ga., with
Carl’s sister, Mrs. W. O. Couch,
and Mr. Couch and that is one
time we could truthfully say
“Having a wonderful' time, glad
you’re NOT here.” They say it is
lovely in that part of the coun
try. We wouldn’t know but think
we’ll go back there again next
year and see for ourselves.
Now that we’re back home
again we’re tryng to get down to
earth. Carl is back on the job at
Burlington Mills, Gastonia, and
I’m at the Eye, Ear, and Throat
Hospital in Charlotte. During our
hours together at home, with the
help of my Dad, we’re painting,
re-arranging furniture and re
decorating in general . . . and all
the time I am eating those words
“I wouldn’t marry the best man
on earth” for that is exactly what
I did. So from now on there will
be no more “Cribbles Scribbles”
but only ‘McEntire Memories,” . ’.
P. S. I have been late to a lot
things in my life but this is one
event that I appeared on the
scene hours ahead of time for
Bertha Noles had already warn
ed me that if I didn't show up
she would be right there to take
my place.
