Article Title: LARKEY-JORDAN
Miss Ida Larkey and John Benjamin Jordan were married last evening in the building on El Dorado avenue, where the bride formerly conducted her school. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. E.R. Dille. Over 100 close friends of the Larkey and Jordan families witnessed the marriage ceremony. Miss Myra Merriman was maid of honor. Her gown was of white lace fashioned over a white silk slip. She carried a shower of bridesmaid roses. The four ushers, nephews of the bride, were attired in suits of white. They were Master Sanford Larkey, Jefferson Larkey, Hale Larkey and Carl Jefferson. A trio of nieces, Miss Marion Kergan, Miss Ruth Larkey and Miss Dorothy Tregloan, were ribbon bearers and wore frocks of white and carried baskets of Cecil Bruner roses. The wedding gown was a beautiful creation of satin made after the empire model, with garnitures of princess lace. A spray of orange blossoms caught the long tuile veil, which fell to the hem of the train. A shower of lilies of the valley completed the costume. C. Richards was best man.
After the wedding a supper was served before the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan on their honeymoon journey on an automobile trip through the southern part of the state. Upon their return they will reside at Hotel Athens, of which the bridegroom is owner and manager. The marriage was the culmination of a romance begun during the college days of the couple when they were students together. Both the maid of honor and best man were classmates at the same time.
