Rev. Kirwin of the Methodist Church officiated, using the ring [ceremony. Little Miss Irene Woods, gowned in white, with a white veil, was the only attendant of the bridal couple, carrying a dainty floral basket in which was placed the wedding ring. Following the ceremony congratulations were tendered the newly wedded couple, after which the company set down to daintly{sp} appointed tables where a delicious two-course dinner was served.
Mr. and Mrs. Nichols were the recipients of numerous gifts from their friends which will be greatly appreciated by them in their new home.
