The Rev. V.H. Bailey officiated at the single ring ceremony at the close of the morning service. The altar was beautifully decorated with ferns and flowers. Miss Dorothy Hall, pianist, accompanied Mrs. Clayton Weaver and Mr. Harold Litsey who sang "I Love You Truly." She also played the traditional wedding march. The bride was attractively costumed in Navy blue sheer ensemble with white accessories. A delightful two-course luncheon was served in the parsonage following the ceremony in the church, by Mrs. V.H. Bailey and daughters, Deane and Victoria. A three-tiered bride's cake topped by a miniature bride and groom decorated the center of the table. Mr. McClain is the nephew of Mrs. Bailey. The young couple departed on a wedding trip to Colorado following the luncheon, after which they will be at home with their friends near Topeka, Kansas, where Mr. McClain is employed as teacher for the coming year.
