Phillips-Lundy

A nuptial event of much interest was that of last evening when Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lundy of 1430 Cincinnati avenue, gave in marriage, their eldest daughter, Lena Lois to Mr. Emit Linwood Phillips, of Sapulpa, formerly of Jacksonville, Texas. Dr. Louis S. Barton officiated in a very impressive manner and the wedding was solemnized in Boston Avenue Methodist church, of which congregation the bride is a member. A reception was held at the bride's home afterward and later the bride and groom left for their home in Sapulpa, the wedding trip to be an event during the early summer.

The church presented a most inviting picture, the altar being banked with palms and fern and intertwined with smilax, Easter lilies, hydrangeas and snapdragon expressing a color note of pink and white. To the strains of Lohengrin's "Bridal Chorus," the bridal party advanced and met the groom and best man. Mr. Frederic Allen, and the minister at the altar. Miss Klyde Lundy, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and Mrs. Charles W. Flint was matron of honor, the bridesmaids being Miss Mary Adeline Hayden and Miss Helen Fulling. The groomsmen were Messrs. Robert Bradshaw, Chester Cluck and J.S. Donovan. Little Miss Mary Ellen Dean, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dean, was flower girl and Master Harley Summers Lundy, Jr., the latter a cousin of the bride, was ringbearer.

Miss Lois Wood, a sorority sister of the bride, sang "De Hardelot's "I Love You Truly," accompanied by Mrs. E.E. Clulow and immediately following, Miss Thelma Roe played a violin solo, "Romance," after which the processional was sounded. Mendelssohn's wedding march was the recessional and during the ceremony, Mrs. Clulow played McDowell's "To A Wild Rose" with Miss Roe rendering an exquisite violin obligato. The bride's blonde beauty was particularly enhanced by her rich gown of bridal satin embellished at neck and sleeves, also at the long waist line with satin roses and leaves with pendant trimming of silver ribbon. At the side of the semifull skirt were cascade panniers of satin that fell below the hem of the skirt. Real blossoms from California, a gift of Miss Annabel Latimer, a relative of the bride, were worn forming a coronet to which was arranged the veil of illlusion and lace that fell, in graceful folds, the entire length of the train. The bride's only ornament was a string of pearls, a gift from the groom. Her flowers were bride's roses and lilies of the valley arranged in immense round bouquet with shower effect. All the maids and the matron were gowned alike, their frocks fashioned full skirts with side drapery and blouse effect waists with short sleeves, they were of pink crepe-backed satin with self trimming of roses and silver ribbon . The maid of honor and matron of honor carried old fashioned nosegays of Columbia roses and maidenhair fern, while the bridesmaid's flowers the same in style, were of butterfly roses and fern. The little flower girl in a showy frock of pink and white carried flowers in a French basket. The ring bearer in a black velvet suit and white blouse carried the ring on an Easter lily.

The bride is one of Tulsa's most charming girls and loved for her graciousness and lovely disposition. She is a graduate of Central High school and also attended the University of Tulsa, and is a member of Theta Beta Phi sorority. Mr. Phillips is located in Sapulpa where he is in business. He is a graduate of the university at Tyler, Texas. A large concourse of relatives and friends attended the nuptials and informal reception given later and the popularity of the bride and groom was beautifully attested by many gifts. Music and congratulations were the order of the reception and a delicious buffet supper was served. Out-of-town attending the wedding were Mrs. Lewis Johnson of Heavener, Okla., the bride's first school teacher. Mrs. W.W. Lundy of Hartford, Ark., grandmother of the bride and Mrs. Vaughn Laughlin of Dallas, Texas.
