Miller-Bruce
Vows Spoken

The mirror over the fireplace in
the living room of the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Wilcox, St.
Clair street, prettily reflected the
palms and profusion of flowers
that formed the improvised altar
where their grand-niece, Miss
Arvilla Bruce, daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Bruce
(Elnora Hackett) and granddaugh-
ter of Mrs. Elizabeth Hackett,
Howard street, became the bride
of Howard Vincent Miller, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Allen, Lapeer
court. Rites were read at 8 p.m.
Saturday by Rev. L. W. Light.
A blue silk crepe dress was the
bride's choice of wedding attire.
A white lace yoke, short puffed
sleeves and a full skirt were fea-
tures of her dress which was ac-
cented with a pretty corsage of
spring blossoms. Her accessories
were navy blue.
Mr. and Mrs. James Jackson,
Sarnia, attended the couple.
Immediately after the ceremony,
a wedding luncheon was served
from a table covered with a white
satin cloth and lighted with tall
white tapers. A diminutive bride
and groom stood on either side of
the low bowl of blue and white
flowers that centered the table. A
four-tiered wedding cake also
graced the table. Tiny boxes of
wedding cake were presented to\\\\
the guests.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller will make
their home at 645 Lapeer court
after a short honeymoon.
