As the wedding party marched down the aisle toward the altar, Mrs. Foster played the "Bridal Chorus" from Wagner's "Lohengrin" and for the recessional the "Wedding March" from Mendelssohn's 'Midsummer Night's Dream." During the impressive ceremony she played softly, "I Love You Truly."
Heading the wedding party as matron of honor was Mrs. Harlan Gregory, sister of the bride. She was in Nile green point d'esprit over Nile green taffeta. The sleeves were full with tight cuff at the elbow, this of the green taffeta which matched the sash that hung to the floor. The skirt was made full from the knees to the floor.

Twisted silk cords formed the crown, and at either side the veil was caught by orange blossoms. A rhinestone tiara behind a ruffle of tulle gave a halo effect which waa most effective.
