Washington wedding ties communities across state line
One of Washington's loveliest weddings united Cecile Mae Marie Pelville and Glover B. Ferrell at the bride's parents' home in Washington. Relatives and friends filled the mansion for a double ring ceremony conducted by Rev. David Thompson. The wedding featured pink and white decor, a four course dinner, and a large wedding party. The couple, after a honeymoon trip to Tennessee and Georgia, plan to return for summer school and a farm life near Pleasant Plain.
