Reid-Lane Wedding - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Madison Journal June 23, 1923

Reid-Lane

The marriage of Miss Ruth Lane to Mr. Erle Reed was solemnized at the Methodist Church. Rev. R. F. 
Harrell officiated. The church was decorated in white. A little garden was arranged within the chancel, 
and was decorated with vines and ivy, being the signs of matrimony. The altar was decorated with vines 
and banked with daisies, while lilies breathed fragrance about the altar. Miss Annette Beers presided 
at the piano and played soft music as a Prelude, and accompanied Miss Zoe Hurd, of Ruston, who sang with 
so much feeling and tenderness "The Sweetest story Ever Told." At the first notes of Mendelssohn's march, 
the minister entered and stood just within the garden gate. First to enter were the two ushers, Mr. Fred Cook, 
of Delhi, and Mr. Will Adams. The groom came with his best man, Mr. W. A. Gilpin. They were followed by 
the bride's maid, Miss Blanche Hurd, of Ruston. Then came the little flower girl ring bearer, little 
Julia Williams, with a basket of flowers no sweeter than herself, and Lane Plauche, carrying a lilly in 
his hand with the two rings concealed within its heart of gold.

The bride entered with her brother, Mr. Lee Lane. The simple and impressive service was said while the 
sweetest notes of "Call Thee Mine Own" were played.

The bride and groom left immediately in a touring car for New Orleans and coast towns. They will return 
in July.

The out-of-town people present at the marriage were Mrs. Plauche, sister of the bride, and little children, 
Miss Blanche Hurd and Miss Zoe Hurd, of Ruston, La., Mr. Fred Cook, of Delhi, and Mrs. Breckinridge and 
daughter, Cary, of New Orleans, sister of the groom.

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Reid rejoice with them in this happy union, and wish for them all the 
sweetness that life can hold.
