Show friends at their places. We went to a bishop in Boise to get a marriage license. One of Forrest's KGEM friends and his wife gave me a wedding shower. Bishop Peterson married us July 17, 1947. We knew we needed a place to live, so we got a little upstairs apartment in Boise. I visited Charles Creamer, my cousin who was in the furniture business. One day, Forrest and I went to a night club where popular pianist Jesse Stacey and Lee Wyley, a singer performed. They came one time to our place and I served them a pot roast dinner. I spoke to Jesse about a piano which I hoped to buy. I preferred Mason Hamblin pianos at the time. He said that Mason Hamblin did have a good upright piano if space were a necessity. My Bishop, Orson Foulger, of the Ogden LDS Seventh Ward, married us again in my family home in Ogden on 20 August 1947 with a reception held in the Ogden Seventh Ward Recreational Hall on Thirteenth Street. It was well attended by relatives and friends. Wedding Announcement An article in the Ogden Standard-Examiner newspaper with a photo of myself in the wedding dress readsNuptial vows were taken by Miss Ida Marriott. She became the bride of Forrest A. Kyle, August 20, (1947) . The Article states: "One of the attractive nuptial events of the week was the marriage of Miss Ida Marriott, daughter of Mrs. C. A. Marriott and the late Charles A. Marriott, to Forrest A. Kyle, son of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Kyle of Pasadena, California. The double-ring ceremony was solemnized at the Marriott home August 20, 1947 by Bishop Orson T. Foulger in the presence of the immediate relatives and close friends. The bride was given in marriage by her brother, Orion C. Marriott of Millbrae, California. The bride was lovely in a white tulle arid taffeta gown, fashioned with long sleeves, net, yoke and full skirt with a sweeping train of tulle. Her finger tip veil of bride's illusion was effective with a bonnet of seed pearl trim. She carried a heart-shaped bouquet edged with a ruffling of tulle and centered with orchids and stephanotis. Attending her as matron of honor was Mrs. Vern Harrop, sister of the bride. Miss Helen House (Miller) was bridesmaid and Mrs. Lowell Hawkes (DeBoer) was attending matron. All wore models of white and carried bouquets of gardenias. Vern Harrop was best man. Mrs. Marriott wore a black crepe gown of sequin rim and Mrs. Kyle chose a gown of white jersey. Pink camellia corsages were worn by both. The bridal music was furnished by Mrs. Ralph Sanford, Verlin Braithwaite and Miss Claire Sanford. A large reception was held in the evening at the Seventh Ward. The bridal party stood before a background of tall standards of white and dark pink gladioli and candles in seven-branch foliage-festooned candelabra. Assisting at the reception were Mrs. Orion C. Marriott and Mrs. Reid Murdock. Among the out-of-town guests attending the nuptials were Mrs. Kyle, and daughters Maxine and Barbara Lee of Pasadena and Mr. and Mrs. Orion C. Marriott of Millbrae, California. |
