HYBARGER—FORSTER
The marriage of Miss Lois Vivian
Hybarger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Rufus Lee Hybarger of Pineland
and John Hoff Forster, Jr., son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Forster, Sr. of
Rusk, was solemnized Saturday ev-
ening, Februray 2 at 7:30 o'clock in
the First Methodist Church in Pine-
land, with Rev. G. R. Thomas, Jr. of
San Augustine officiating.
The church was beautifully decor-
ated for the ceremony with smilax,
white stock and calla lilies, and
lighted only by a myriad of white
bridal tapers. Arrangements of smi-
lax and tapers also centered each
window.
Preceding the ceremony, Mrs.
Clyde Chisum played selections of
wedding music and accompaniments
for Mrs. R. W. Gary of Beaumont,
who sang "At Dawning" and "I
Love You Truly." The traditional
wedding marches were also played. I
The bride, who was given in mar-:
riage by her father, wore a gown of I
heavy white brocaded satin, fashion-
ed with sweetheart neckline and
curved waistline outlined with dainty
seed pearls. The long sleeves ended
in points over the hands, and the
softly gathered skirt extended into
a long trair, covered by a long veil
of bridal illusion caught to the head
by a Juliet cap of pearls. She wore
a single strand of pearls and pearl
earrings, the gift of the ' groom.
She carried a heart-shaped bouquet
of white hyacinths and carnations
silk jersey bodice fashioned with
sweetheart neckline and short pyffed
sleeves, and skirt of net over taffeta.
They wore veils of yellow tulle simi-
lar to the one worn by the maid of
honor, caught into a coronet over the
head. Their flowers were blue Iris,
in ring arrangement with ruffle of
yellow lace and tied with bows of
blue satin ribbon.
Flower girls were Dianne Hybarg-
er of Beaumont and Lynda Lois Chis-
um. They wore floor-length dresses
of white net over taffeta, fashioned
with full gathered skirt, short puff
sleeves and round neck trimmed with
self ruffle. They carried baskets cov-
ered with ruffles of yellow tulle and
tied with blue ribbon. Their bonnets
were of white tulle, and they wore
tiny gold crosses, the gift of the
bride.
The mother of the bride was gown-

port, La.; Mrs. J. W. Hankins of
Kirbyvttle; Mrs. W. F. Purdy, Miss
Patty Pyrdy, and Mr. and Mrs. W.
