Doggett-Nelson
At the beautiful residence of Mrs. P. M. Doggett [Mrs. Philip Martin Doggett, Martha Tevis Martin] of this city on Thursday at five o'clock, June 17, 1920, occurred the pretty home wedding of her youngest daughter, Miss Thelma Laura [sic] Doggett, to Mr. Howard Easter Nelson.
The house was beautifully decorated with flowers everywhere. At the appointed time the bridal party entered the living room from a north door of an adjoining room, the bride and groom taking their place under a floral arch of roses, the bridesmaid, Miss Delores Sappington of Arcadia, and best man, Mr. Otto Boyer of Liberal, taking their places on either side of the bride and groom. After a brief prayer by Rev. M. Bell, the clergyman proceded with the beautiful Methodist Episcopal Ritual service. Both bride and groom plighted their troth and took upon themselves the vows that united their lives in one. The groom took the wedding ring from a rose bud and placed it upon the finger of the bride at the close of the ceremony.
The bride was attired in a beautiful costume of pale blue silk crepe de chine with gold lace trimming, a bridal veil draped with white bride's roses and carried a boquet of roses. The bridesmaid, a clear brunette in pleasing contrast, wore a gown of pink silk crepe de chine and carried pink roses.
The groom and best man were handsome and manly in the conventional serves for afternoon weddings.
After congratulations the bridal party led the way to the dining room where a beautifully decorated table stood, roses and bride's cake were in evidence. A dainty two course luncheon consisting of pressed chicken sandwiches, potato salad, pickles and assorted cakes, bride's cake and brick ice cream were served. The color scheme of pink and white was carried out in the luncheon.
