Phillips-Griffing Wedding - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Madison Journal February 15, 1935

MISS JOY GRIFFING BECOMES BRIDE OF MR. M. A. PHILLIPS
(Monroe Morning World)

A wedding characterized by exquisite simplicity and one in which the sincere and affectionate interest 
of friends is centered is that of Miss Joy Griffing, beautiful and talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
G. W. Griffing of this city and Mr. M. A. Phillips of Tallulah, La., son of Rev. and Mrs. M. A. Philips, Sr., 
of Dallas, Texas, at Grace Church, Friday, February eighth at four o'clock in the afternoon with 
Dr. E. F. Hayward, rector, officiating.

The chancel was a mass of verdant green for this impressive nuptial event with southern smilax massed in 
the background where myriad white tapers gleamed in tall white candlesticks. White blossoms lifted their 
heads from wicker floor standards and were massed against the altar in artistic array.

Professor Roger Frisbie, at the organ rendered a pre-nuptial concert, while the guests were being seated. 
He also accompanied Miss Nellie Breard, soloist, who sang in beautiful flute-like soprano voice, 
"O Perfect Love."

The ushers were: Mr. James Wade and Mr. Walter Scott of Tallulah.

Miss Beatrice Rhymes, the bride's only attendant, wore a beautiful beige crepe model with accessories 
of light brown and a corsage of yellow Talisman roses and valley lilies.

The bride who was given away in marriage by her father was unusually lovely in a smart navy blue tailleur 
with three-quarter length coat edged in silver fox fur. An engaging little hat of navy blue and a corsage 
of pink bride's blush roses and valley lilies completed the distinctive ensemble.

Mr. Lavell Scott acted in the capacity of best man.

Immediately following the wedding service, Mr. and Mrs. Phillips left by motor on a short honeymoon in 
southern Louisiana and upon their return will be at home in Tallulah where Mr. Phillips is principal of 
the high school and athletic coach.

The bride is a charming young girl and a popular member of the younger set. She is much sought after in 
musical circles in this city where she is a member of the Junior Musical Coterie. She was graduated from 
the music department of Northeast Center L. S. U. and attended All Saint's Academy in Vicksburg, Miss., 
and also attended the Virginia Intermont, Bristol, Va.
