On last Friday, August 24th, in a ceremony of quiet simplicity and charm, Miss Francis Bass and Mr. Guy Hopkins Hawkins were married at the home of the bride?s parents Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Bass, in South Boston, Va., with only close friends and relatives of the two young people. Rev. J.W. Wildman, pastor of the bride, officiated using the ring ceremony.
Just preceding the ceremony Mrs. J.F Stephens sand ?At Dawning?. Then followed Mendellsohns Wedding March. Mrs. Stephens? softly played ?To A Wild Rose,? by McDowell during the ceremony. The bride came down the stairs on the arm of her only attendant, Mrs. W.D. Pulliam, her matron of honor, and was met by the groom and his best man, Mr. C.H. Vernon of Blanch, N.C., who came in from the living room.
The Bass home was beautifully decorated with ferns, golden rod and potted plants. The color scheme of green and orange being carried out.
Miss Bass, better known to her many friends as ?Fan? looked lovely in her going away suit of blue Poiret twill with grey accessories. She is a young woman of winsome personality and has many friends throughout Virginia and North Carolina. She will be missed, especially at church where she has been organist since she was little girl. Since her graduation at Turberville High School and Teachers Training School at Farmville, Va., she has given her time to teaching school and piano, and her many friends regret that her marriage takes her away.
