MissJean MaryGlarner Becomes
Bride Of Rev. Charles H. Elizey
In a double-ring ceremony, im-
pressive with soft music and
candlelight, Miss Jean Mary
Glarner became the bride of Rev.
Charles Homer Elizey Friday
evening at 8 o’clock in the First
Methodist church.
The rites were performed be-
fore a background of palms and
other greenery which emphasized
baskets of cream-shaded gladioli
and cathedral tapers, by Rev. H.
J. H. Elizey, Winnsboro and Rev.
W. Clark Elizey, Columbia, Mo.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Milo J. Glarner and
Mr. Elizey is the son of Mr. and j
Mrs. Tom V. Elizey, Amarillo. j
In the program of nuptial mus-1
ic played preceding the exchange
of vows Henry Griffin, Jr., or-
ganist, chose “To the Evening
Star” by Wagner and then ac-
companied Michael Wilkomirski
of McAllen, who played the violin
solos “Meditation” from “Thais”
by Massenet and Serenade by
Schubert.
Mr. Griffin also accompanied
M. Lawrence Elizey, Perryton,
who sang “O Promise Me” by de
Koven and “O Perfect Love” by
Barnby. The ministers and soloist
were the three brothers of the
bridegroom. Softly during the
ceremony, the organist played
“LiebestraUm” by Liszt, and for
the processional and recessional
he used the traditional wedding
marches.
Attending the bride as maid of
honor was Miss Joan Glarner.
cousin of the bride, of West Con-
cord, Minnesota. Bridesmaids
were Mrs. Robert West Parr, Den-
ton, and Mrs. Marlin C. Harris,
Cameron. Miss Carolyn Ann
Glarner and Miss Kathryn Jane
Glarner, sisters of the bride, were
junior bridesmaids and Kay Dee
Lindahl, cousin of the bride, was
flower girl.
Miss Joan Glarner, the brides-
maids and the flower girl were
dressed in period gowns of aqua-
blue taffeta, designed with high
ruffled neckline and jabot, and
deep yokes which extended over
the shoulders. Their bouffant
skirts were caught up in back j
with bustle effect. Their mitts
and bandeau bonnets were of
matching net, and they all carried
arm bouquets of roses of a deep
rose shade. The flower girl car-j
ried an aqua-blue net basket and!
scattered deep rose petals.
Best, man was Tom V. Elizey,!
father of the groom, and the ush- j
ers were Gerald Sensabaugh, Jr.,j
Dallas, Robert W. Parr, Denton.
Marshall Pickard and Glenn Har-
ding, both of Raymondville.
Given in marriage by her fath-
er, the bride wore her maternal
grandmothers wedding gown of
the quaint design of 1893. It had
been worn by the bride’s mother
in 1925. The dress, fashioned of
creamy gloria silk, used at that
time, had long leg-o’-mutton
sleeves with a frill of lace ex-
tending over her hands*
The stayed, fitted bodice was
finely tucked to a high waistline
and the fullness above gathered
into a shirred yoke of Valencia
lace. The yoke designed with a
round neckline was gathered to
the bodice and outlined with a
narrow petal-like shirring of the
same lace, which also made the
short full peplum. The heavily-
lined flared circular skirt, gath-
ered full in back, giving a slight
bustle effect, extended into a
demi-train.
A double ruffle of the self ma-
terial edged the skirt. The bride’s
cathedral length veil of cream il-
lusion was caught with a high
ruching to four lacy bandeaus in
cap effect, outlined with tiny
clusters of pearlized orange blos-
soms. She carried an arm bou-
quet of cream-shaded roses, as
her grandmother did in 1893.
The bride’s mother wore a din-
ner dress of navy flat crepe, and
Mrs. Elizey, mother of the groom,
was gowned in navy sheer over
taffeta.
Following the wedding, a re-
ception was given on the lighted
