Wynne were united in mar- riage with a double ring ceremony by Dean C. E. Rice in the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The church was beautifully dec- orated with white daisies and hem- lock boughs. Miss Dorothy Coleman played on the organ preceding the service and also accompanied Ernest Ehler who sang “O Promise Me” and “Because.” Given in marriage by Lt. Comdr. John Newmarker, the bride wore a gown of white marquisette, designed gown of single ruffle trimming the sweetheart neckline and a ruffled panel in the back which extended from the waistline to the floor. A wide shirred cuff complimented the long sleeves of the gown and her fingertip veil of fine net fell from a Julet cap, the crown of which was outlined in seed pearls. She carried a white bible, topped by a single white orchid and with clusters of tiny sweet peas caught to the white satin ribbons which showered from its pages. Her only piece of jewelry was a string of pearls, the gift of the bridegroom. Mrs. John Krugness, as matron of honor, wore a gown of pale pink marquisette. It was made with a small ruffle, which accented the long waistline, Her headdress was a small pink veil with blue forget-me-nots. She carried a French bouquet of spring flowers with blue streamers. J. Simpson MacKinnon, Jr., was best man and ushers included Ver- non Tomlin and Gasper Perrone. A reception was held at the home of Captain and Mrs. James Simpson MacKinnon, following the ceremony. Mrs. MacKinnon received the guests with the bridal couple. The reception table was covered with a lace cloth and a lovely ar- rangement of yellow water lilies, off- set by tapers in crystal candelabra, formed a lovely centerpiece. Miss Coleman played at the piano, fam- iliar old fashioned love songs dur- ing the reception. Assisting during the evening were Mrs. John Newmarker, Mrs. H. L. Faulkner, Mrs. Harry 1. Lucas, Mrs. Helen Cass, Mrs. Walter Sinn, Mrs. Jeannie Ware, Miss Pear]l Peterson, Miss Bess O'Neil and Miss Betty Nordling.
