Show first son, that feeling disappeared, and I was filled with joy and happiness. WEDDING CEREMONY The June 17, 1943 Ogden Standard-Examiner printed a photograph and long article regarding our Wedding. The picture--Bride and Attendants--"Mrs. Vern Harrop (center), formerly Miss Madeleine Marriott, a recent bride, is shown here with her two attendants. They are left-right, Mrs. Perry Franklyn, matron of honor; Mrs. Harrop, and Miss Ida Virginia Marriott, bridesmaid." The article--Home Wedding Pretty Event of Early June--"One of the charming events of early June was the home wedding on June 6 (1943) of Miss Madeleine Marriott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Marriott, 1208 Porter Avenue, to Vern Harrop, son of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Harrop. The impressive ceremony was performed by Bishop Albert E. Read at high noon in the presence of the immediate families and about 30 close friends. As the guests arrived, they were greeted by the beautiful strains of music from a string trio composed of the Misses Edith Bush, Grace Jensen, and Stanford Seidner, artists from the Lillian Thatcher studio. Preceding the ceremony Chariton P. Ferrin sang "I Love You Truly". The bridal party entered through a bridge path banked with flowers of baskets of roses and Madonna lilies and stood under a canopy of satin streamers and rosebuds as the strains of the bridal chorus from Lohengrin by Richard Wagner was played by the trio. During the ceremony "O Promise Me" was most beautifully rendered. The bride looked exquisite in a Princess model of white satin and lace en train. She wore an enveloping French tulie veil caught up with orange blossoms and carried a beautiful bouquet of gardenias, bridal roses, and lilies of the valley caught in streamers of white satin ribbon. The maid of honor, Mrs. Perry Franklyn, cousin of the bride of San Francisco, wore an attractive model of pale-blue satin and lace. Miss Ida Virginia Marriott, the bridesmaid, sister of the bride, wore a charming gown of peach colored chiffon. Each carried a beautiful bouquet of brides' roses, lilies of the valley and sweet peas caught with satin streamers. Leslie Johnson was best man. Flower girls were Miss Shirley and Annabel Marriott, two little nieces of the bride, daintily clad in pale organdy, as they strewed rosebuds in the bridal path. Mrs. Charles A. Marriott, mother of the bride, wore a model of blue chiffon. Mrs. William A. Harrop, mother of the bridge-groom, was smartly gowned in white crepe. |
