One of the most beautiful weddings of the year was the marriage Tuesday of Miss F. Allene Templin, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. O. E. Templin, and Ray E. Applebaugh, son of Mrs. Myrtle Applebaugh of Salina, Kans.
The impressive single ring ceremony was solemnized at 7:30 p.m. in the Methodist church. Rev. H. M. Templin of Delta, Colo., uncle of the bride, officiated at the wedding assisted by Rev. George Parkhurst, pastor of the Methodist church in Alva.
The church was beautifully decorated in green and white. The altar before which the bridal party stood was banked with green fern and pine and white gladioli and lighted with white cathedral tapers in two floor candelabra. The green and white floral theme was also used for the aisle decorations.
Preceding the ceremony Mrs. John Johntz sang “Ava Maria” by Gounod and “Because” by D’Hardelot. She was accompanied by Frank Whiteside.
Miss Gladys Brockus, wearing a taffeta Victorian dress of pastel green and carrying a bouquet of cream and white Marguerites tied with green tulle, lighted the tapers as Mr. Whiteside played “Evening Prayer” on the organ.
For processional Mr. Whiteside played the “bridal Chorus” by Lohengrin and he used Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” for the recessional. During the ceremony he played softly “Ava Maria.”

The bride, who entered with and was given away by her father, was lovely in a white satin, Victorian gown with a long train and long, pointed sleeves. Her long bridal veil was fastened to a white satin band with a spray of orange blossoms in front.
