Brickman-Broyles Vows Are Taken In Beautiful Cerremony
In an attractive home wedding Miss Esta Belle Brickman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben
Brickman, became the bride of Mr. Floyd E. Broyles, son of Mrs. O. O. Davis of Denver,
Colorado, at noon on New Year’s. Rev. L. T. Knotter of the Presbyterian church
officiated using the double ring ceremony.
The vows were exchanged before a large window which was framed with trellises of
greenery and winter blossoms. The trellises were topped by large wedding bells which
furnished the decorative motif in other decorations.
The couple was attended by Miss Eddith Jackel, cousin of the bride, and Mr. Leroy
Broyles, brother of the groom.
The bride, who entered the room alone, wore the traditional white satin, fashioned with a
sweetheart neckline and long pointed sleeves and train. Her only jewel was a necklace
which had been worn by her mother on her wedding day. She carried an arm bouquet of
American Beauty roses. Her veil was full length of white illusion, falling from a seed
pearl coronet with orange blossom clusters at the side. It was bordered with deep lace
and large medallions at the bottom fell over the satin train.
Miss Jaekel wore an aqua blue gown, floor length with high neckline and puffed short
sleeves. Her flowers were an arm bouquet of pink roses. Little Miss Willa Jean Sargent,
train bearer, was dressed in a short frock of blue net trimmed with pink velvet bows.
Mrs. Brickman, mother of the bride, was dressed in a dinner gown of maroon satin and
wore a corsage of yellow roses. Mrs. Davis, mother of the groom, wore a white moiré
taffeta dinner gown with a corsage of yellow roses.
Preceding the ceremony Mrs. Marion Monfort played two numbers, Rubenstein’s
“Angel’s Serenade” and “Romance” by LaForge. Miss Felicia Monfort sang “If God
Left Only You.” By Densmore, and “I Love You Truly.” She was accompanied by Mrs.
Monfort. For the processional Mrs. Monfort played Mendelssohnn’s wedding march and
other selections during the reception.
Mrs. Broyles received her education in local schools except for a year in the
Conservatory of Music in St. Louis. She holds a teacher’s certificate in the progressive
Series from the conservatory. Mr. Broyles is a printer in Denver.
Following the wedding a reception was held for the wedding party. The table was
covered with a deep cream lace cloth and pink and white carnations in attractive bouquets
