Much of the interest on this dress is focused on the full sleeves which offer a broader
shoulder line which visually narrows the waist. The Gibson girl look with gathers to create
a puffed effect on the sleeve and lace from elbow to wrist allows cooling air to penetrate.
Her bouquet combines wedding favorites - roses, baby's breath and a Be.

The Bible
from page 19
Good News Bible)
Two are better than one: they get a
good wage for their labor. If the one falls,
the other will lift up his companion. Woe
to the solitary man! For if he should fall,
he has no one to lift him up. So also, if
two sleep together, they keep each other
warm. How can one alone keep warm?
Where a lone man may be overcome, two
together can resist. A three-ply cord is
not easily broken." ( from Ecclesiastes
4:9-12, the New American Bible)
For other Scripture readings that honor
marriage see Mark 10:6-9, Matthew
19:4-6.
ON HOME AND FAMILY
"If the Lord does not build the house,
the work of the builders is useless; if the
Lord does not protect the city, it does no
good for the sentries to stand guard."
( Psalm 127:1-2, from the Good News
Bible)
•'By wisdom a house is built, by
discernment the foundation is laid; by
knowledge its storerooms filled with
riches of every kind, rare and desirable.
Better the wise man than the strong, the
man with knowledge than the brawny
fellow, for war is won by sound thinking
and victory rests in having many
counsellors." ( Proverbs 24:3-6, from The
Jerusalem Bible)
Verses that speak of leaving one home,
and beginning another can be found in
Psalm 128, Matthew 7:21, 24-27; Ephe-
sians 3:14-19.
ON PRAISE AND JOY
"There shall be heard again the voice
of mirth and the voice of gladness, the
voice of the bridegroom and the voice of
the bride, the voices of those who sing."
(Jeremiah 33:10b-11 Revised Standard
Version)
-As a bridegroom rejoices over his
bride, so will your God rejoice over you.'
( Isaiah 62:5b, New International Bible)
"Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy
and drink thy wine with a merry heart,
for God hath already accepted thy
works... enjoy, life with the wife whom
thou lovest all the days of the life of thy
vanity, which he hath given thee under
the sun." (Ecclesiastes 9:7-9 from the
Hebrew Scripture)
It's such a happy day, with so much to
be thankful for. Include words of praise
such as Psalm 1.50, Psalm 8, Isaiah
61:10-11, Psalm 118:24.
USING SCRIPTURE
Before you choose your Scripture selec-
tions, read many translations. Different
wording may make one seem more
meaningful, but remember, not all ver-
sions are acceptable in every church. So
see your clergyman for approval, or
other suggestions.
You can use Scripture in a variety of
ways. Ask your closest cousin to read a
passage, or, have a dramatic reading
with all the wedding party (or family
members) taking a turn. One way to in-
clude all your guests is to have a respon-
sive reading between clergymember and
congregation. Psalms work well for this.
If you are writing out your service in a
wedding program, include all the words
to the responses to make it easier for
your guests to join in. A bride and groom
might speak Scripture "vows" of com-
mitment just before their wedding vows.
Ruth 1:16 ( "whither thou goest") and
Hosea 2:21 ("I will espouse you forever")
are lovely. Or, let the Scripture speak
through the beautiful musical settings of •
the Psalms, Lord's Prayer, or Song of
Songs.
