CONYNE - PIERCE

The marriage of Dr. George Fay Conyne and Miss Lois Mildred Pierce took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Pierce, Bristol Street, on Wednesday afternoon. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. P. Wood, of Albion, former pastor of the Universalist church at Canandaigua.

The bride's gown was of white georgette crepe over taffeta. She carried a shower bouquet of bride roses and lilies of the valley. Her tulle veil, in cap effect, was caught with lilies of the valley and sweet peas. She was attended by her sister, Miss Ruth Pierce, as bridesmaid, who wore pink taffeta and carried pink roses. Tow flower girls, Mildred Pierce and Evelyn Case, dressed in white, and carrying daisy chains, preceded the bridal party to an improvised altar of peonies and palms. The entrance was a gateway of daisies. The groom was attended by his brother, Ray Conyne, of Canandaigua. Miss Marian Pierce, sister of the bride, played the wedding music.

The house was profusely decorated with roses, peonies and hydrangeas to carry out the color scheme of pink and white. Tables for the wedding supper were set on the spacious porch, covers for 20 being laid at the bride's table, which was centered with pink roses. The guests were served by Misses Nancy Cox, Mabel Brandow, Meda Cox, Emma Haire and Bessie Stevenson, of Canandaigua, and Leah Wheeler, of East Bloomfield, friends of the bride.

Dr. and Mrs. Conyne left during the evening for a trip to the Adirondack mountains. The bride's going away suit was of blue cloth, with which she wore a white hat. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Myron Conyne, West Avenue, and is a dentist in Canandaigua. After October 1, Dr. and Mrs. Conyne will be at home at 222 Bristol Street.
