HAPPY HEARTS

Miss Mad Miller and Mr. Alston K. Rennie Wedded.

Yesterday morning 10 o’clock at St. James Episcopal church, one of the fairest and sweetest maidens who ever gave responsive love, gave her heart and life into the keeping of a proud and gallant knight, at the marriage altar where pure love and the glow happiness was in the faces of Miss Annie Maud Miller and Mr Alston Keith Rennie, as Rev. Innes O. Adams spoke the sacred words which made them husband and wife. About the altar, where the bridal party stood were snow white carpets and draperies, the latter holding clinging sprays of Alabama smilax. A beautiful wedding bell of white roses, swung from those vines and the picture, was beautiful, indeed. One feature of the occasion, so pretty in sentiment, was the fact that all the bridal party, with one exception, a dear friend -  were members of the distinguished family, of which this lovely young bride is one of the fairest representatives. By birth,  education and home influence she is a charming type of womanhood. Her fair face, with the sunniest smile and rare beauty reflects the beauty of character, which those who know her in her home life can most appreciate.

Mrs. Junnis K. Battle played her fingers over the organ keys with love in every touch and the wedding march was tenderness in the varying tones.

Miss Mary Merrill was maid of honor and Mr. John Rennie of Selma, Ala., brother of the groom, best man; Miss Tade Merrill and Mr. Dykes, attendants and Messrs. Albert Clayton,  William Merrill, Jefferson Clayton and Merrill Brown, ushers. The bride was given away by her aunt, Mrs. Teresa Miller and as she gave the hand of her dearly loved little sister niece to the man of her choice no tenderer, sweeter sentiment ever swelled in human hearts.


The bride wore her going away gown of dark blue paune cloth with a touch of white visible at throat, and carried white carnations with long white ribbons.


Mrs. Miller, who is one of Eufaula’s most handsome women, wore an elegant metal colored tailor suit. The ushers wore boutonnieres of large double blue violets.
