Couple in Brilliant Wedding at Highspire
MR. AND MRS. PAUL E. DOUTRICH [photos]
Quantities of lovely roses, old-fashioned "Dorothy Perkins" and
crimson ramblers, arranged over a trellis of green, gave every
suggestion of June to the pretty wedding which was an event of last
evening at "East Lawn," the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mumma, at
Highspire, when their daughter, Miss Anna R. Mumma, and Paul E.
Doutrich, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Doutrich, of Middletown, were
married in the presence of the immediate families and relatives of the
bride and bridegroom. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. George N.
Lauffer, pastor of the Lutheran Church; Steelton, Miss Alma Hocker, a
cousin of Miss Mumma, played the wedding march from "Lohengrin" as the
bridal party entered, and during the ceremony gave "Oh Promise Me."
The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, looked charming
in a gown of soft white satin and silver lace. The long draped lines
of the satin skirt were most effective in contrast to the bodice, which
was entirely of silver beaded lace over satin, the three-quarter length
sleeves being of satin. A tulle headdress arranged in Russian fashion
was finished across the front with a band of silver and caught high in
the back with orange blossoms, from which the tulle veil hung in folds
to the end of the gown. She carried a shower bouquet of orchids and
trench flowers. Preceding the bride were two dainty little ribbon
bearers, with frocks of white organdie, Miss Mary Elizabeth Doutrich, a
sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Jean Gledhill.
Immediately following the ceremony a reception was given with Mr. and
Mrs. Mumma and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Doutrich receiving.
The dining room, where a buffet supper was served to the guests, was
most artistic with table appointments in pink, and pink roses forming a
centerpiece. All the decorations were arranged by Leland J. Wells, of
the firm of Doutrich & Co.
After an extended trip to Buffalo, Montreal and Lake Champlain, Mr.
and Mrs. Doutrich will be at home at "East Lawn," Highspire. Mr.
Doutrich is a junior member of the firm of Doutrich & Co.
