MISS JANICE BURROUGHS MARRIES VERLIN K. EGLY The First Evangelical and Reformed church in Bluffton was the scene of the Sunday afternoon marriage of Miss Janice Kay Burroughs, to Verlin Keith Egly. The Rev. R. C. Koch officiated for the double ring ceremony, which was read at 2:30 o’clock that afternoon. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Robert Burroughs, of 1909 WesC Cherry street, in Blufftori, and the late Robert Burroughs, and the bridegroom is the son of Mrs. Alvin Egly, of 115 Park View Drive, in Decatur. A white ballerina length gown of nylon sheer eyelet over taffeta was selectee! by the wide. The molded bodice or her gown featured a slightly gathered square neckline, and short puffee sleeves. Her bouffant circular skirt was accented at the waist by a cummerbund with a sash, which extended down the back. A braided headpiece entwined with pearls held her short veil in place, and wearing short white gloves, she carried a white Bible, topped with a blush orchid, from which fell tiny streamers tied in love knots. Miss Rosemary Taylor, of Bluffton, attended her friend as maid-of-honor, in a gown of aqua crys-* talette. The molded bodice was designed with a scooped neckline and brief sleeves. An insert of a darker shade of aqua accented the front of her dress, while the back was detailed with a sash falling almost to the hem of the full ballerina length skirt. Her headband of aqua was styled identically to that of the bride’s, and she carried a cascade arrangement of pink asters, centered with a cluster of rose colorea asters. Best man for the occasion was Leonard Egly, brother of the bridegroom. Mrs. Burroughs attended her daughter’s wedding in a navy blue ensemble, with which she wore navy and grey accessories. The bridegroom’s mother also chose to wear navy, and completed her attire with accessories of the same color. Both mothers wore rose pink cymbidium orchid corsages. A pink and white color theme was predominant in the decorations of the church basement, where the newlyweds greeted guests following the ceremony. The serving table was covered with a white linen table cloth, and centered with a three-tiered wedding cake, decorated with pinkroses. Lighted pink candles were on either side, and were flanked by arrangements of garden flowers., Mrs. Ray Rice served as hostess, and guests were served by the Misses Betty Carnail, Eleanor Scott, Karen Santon and Mary Elston, friends of the bride, of Bluffton.
