At a pretty wedding in St. John’s Church Monday morning, June 27, Miss Birdsall Boss, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Boss, became the bride of Mr. Vincent Astor Gray, son of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Gray. The Rev. Father William Quigley officiated.

The bride wore angel skin lace, made on princess lines with train, over white satin. Her full veil of French illusion net was held by a coronet of orange blossoms. Her flowers, Ophelia roses and Swainsona, were in a satin edged colonial bouquet.

Miss Beatrice Boss was her sister’s maid of honor, wearing pink marquisette with matching brimless picture hat and a colonial bouquet of pink and white sweet peas. Four bridesmaids were gowned alike in poudre blue marquisette with matching wide brimmed hats and colonial bouquets of blue delphinium and pink roses, tied in blue tulle. Bridesmaids were Miss Gertrude Boss, another sister; the Misses Mary and Adelaide Gray, sisters of the bridegroom and Miss Marguerite Bottker. The bride’s youngest sister, little Jane Boss, was junior bridesmaid.

Baskets of blue delphinium and pink rapture roses were at the altar and standards of pink peonies and blue delphinium set off lighted tapers in four many branched candelabra.
