Miss Nancy Buren Wed at Candlelight Rites Friday
The First Presbyterian church was the scene for an impressive wedding service Friday night when Miss Nancy Luella Buren, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Wolcott Emmett Buren, was married to Paul Gerhardt, Portland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gerhardt, Jr. of Chicago. Numerous candles glowed in the stately church. In each window was a row of lighted candles and at each pew down the processional aisle was a candelabrum with tapers. At the front of the church were six large candelabrums with tapers, the flickering light softening the arrangements of pink and white stock and Calla lilies the larger center basket of flowers flanked by a small. er urn at either side.
Preceding. the ceremony, Josephine Albert Spaulding (Mrs. Bruce Spaulding) of Portland, formerly of Salem, sang, and Mrs.
Ralph Dobbs played the organ. Dr. Paul N. Poling repeated the vows for the couple at 8 o'clock before a large gathering of friends and relatives.
The brunette bride wore a beautiful dress of candlelight nylon net over satin. On the net overskirt were appliques of imported French alencon lace and the skirt swept into a chapel length train. The bodice was styled in petal design with a portrait neckline, the yoke and short sleeves of the alencon lace. The fingertip veil was arranged from a Juliet cap that was embroidered with pearls. For her flowers the bride carried a pink and white nosegay of bouvardia and roses with a white orchid in the center. The bride carried a point lace handkerchief made by her grandmother and carried by Mrs. Buren at her wedding. Dr. Buren gave his daughter in marriage.
