Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, June 28, 1953

Dickerson-Bryant

The Christian Church in Mount Ayr was the setting Sunday afternoon, June fourteenth, at two-thirty o'clock, for the marriage of Miss Barbara Joan DICKERSON, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burl DICKERSON, of Mount Ayr, and Billy Howard BRYANT, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard BRYANT, of Beaconsfield.

The double-ring marriage vows were read by the Rev. Harold A. REEL, pastor of the church, in the presence of approximately seventy-five relatives and friends.

The church was beautifully decorated with baskets of garden flowers and white candles.

Preceding the ceremony Mary Margaret HOOD, a classmate of the bride, sang, "At Dawning" and "Because," accompanied at the organ by Margaret PENCE.

As Mrs. PENCE played the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, members of the bridal party took their places at the altar.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, chose for her wedding a white organdy street-length dress with embroidered insets in the skirt, fitted bodice and small puffed sleeves. She carried a Bible, with olive wood back, brought to her from the Holy Land by Mrs. Hubert WISEMAN, upon which rested a corsage of red and white carnations with white streamers. She carried out the tradition of wearing "something old, something borrowed, something blue, and a penny in her shoe."

Mrs. James ADAMS served as matron of honor wearing a navy and white two-piece dress with pinkand white acessories and a pink carnation corsage.

Bob BRYANT, brother of the groom, served as best man.

Ginny Lyn GUTHRIE and Claudia DICKERSON, cousin and sister of the bride, respectively, carried the rings on white satin pillows.

While the bride and groom knelt on a white satin pillow at the altar, Mrs. Burl DICKERSON, mother of the bride, sang "The Lord's Prayer," and as the bridal party left the altar Mrs. PENCE played Mendelssohn's Wedding March.

The mother of the bride wore a navy sheer with white accessories, and the groom's mother was attired in light blue sheer with black and white accessories. Each wore a white carnation corsage.

Following the ceremony the newlyweds left for a short honeymoon trip to Clear Lake, after which they will be at home at 673 20th St., in Des Moines, in which city the groom is employed at the Barco Co.
