Al Fresco Social Rules Shape Summer Weddings and Gatherings
Informality has overtaken social life with al fresco entertaining dominating warm days. The Miss Wigley and Mr Sidney Gill wedding in the Carpenter garden sparked pre nuptial events, including a garden supper for out of town guests. Other parties honored Miss Platt with luncheons and showers, while a Father’s Day reunion at the Richman home highlighted family traditions. A Wallace surprise party for the Walls and a Monroe News-Star connection event are noted, and the Harris couple celebrate a second son at St Francis Sanitarium on June 19.
