JENNIE ABERNATHY AND J. A. TAYLOR WED IN FALLS CHURCH

Colorful spring flowers and lighted candles made a lovely setting in the home of Miss Alla Clary in Falls Church, Va., for the informal wedding in the late afternoon of yesterday of Miss Jennie V. Abernathy, whose marriage to Mr. John Adams Taylor took place at 6 o'clock.
Representative Sam Rayburn, Speaker of the House of Representatives, escorted the bride and gave her in marriage in the absence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Raleigh Abernathy of Bonham, Texas. She wore a beige gabardine suit with a brown orchid corsage and brown accessories for the ceremony, at which the Rev. Alton B. Altfather, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Falls Church, officiated.
The bridegroom is the son of Mrs. John A. Taylor of Lexington, Va., and the late Mr. Taylor. He was graduated from Washington and Lee University and is now connected with the Bureau of Standards. The bride attended business college in Dallas, Tx., and holds a position in the office of Speaker Rayburn.
Among the out-of-town guests attending the wedding were: Mr. Ed A. Heidt of Norfolk, Va.; Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Robinson, Mr. Price Davis, Mr. and Mrs. F.H. Hagerman and Mr. J.H. Little of Richmond, Va; Mrs. J. A. Taylor, mother of the bridegroom, and Miss Jean Taylor, his sister, of Lexington, Va., and Mrs. James R. Davidson, Jr. of Valdosta, Ga.
