THE WEDDING PLANS of Miss Doris Allene Prather of South Side Indianapolis may lack the pomp of Great Britain's preparations for the marriage of Princess Elizabeth, But they provide just as many thrills, and they are typically Hoosier—and American. Elizabeth and Lt. Philip Mountbatten will be united in royal splendor in London's Westminster abbey Nov, 20. And yet the English princess, if she were here today, might conceivably envy Doris. For into her wedding arrangements have gone the loving thought and care of her family and her friends. Doris, who is 20, will be married to her former schoolmate, rt Lester Guyon, tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the Olive Branch Christian church. The bridegroom-to-be, popularly known as Bob, is 21. Doris’ mother, Mgs. Lester Prather, cooked the festive dinner for 20 last night in the residences 2173 8.

everybody present in the church will have an opportunity to congratulate the new Mr, and Mrs. Guyon in the Oliver Branch vestibule, Bob and Doris became acquainted when they attended Olive Branch Sunday school and Emmerich Manual Training high school. He “waiked” his future bride to class and lunched with her in the school cafeteria. On Saturday and in the afternoons, they worked in. the corner drugstore, snatched a moment now and then for a “coke.” Bob still is employed at the same store when he is not %n class in the College of Pharmacy at Butler university. He will get his degree in a year and a half. Now all this sounds as if the Prather-Guyon romance moved along without difficulty. But the course of true love never does. The couple drifted apart . . . as Doris expresses it, “Didn't date over quite a period.” Then came Christmas of 1944 when Bob arrived at Doris’ door with a present for her— a much desired vanity set (mirror, comb and brush).
