Family:Walter Groff and Winifred Whitmore (1)

Autum leaves and chrysanthemums, combined with lighted ivory tapers, made a most beautiful and effective background for the marriage of Miss Winifred Whitmore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Whitmore, of Winifred, Mont., to Walter C. Graff (sic), of Philadelphia, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Graff, of that city. The ceremony took place at hight noon today in the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Sara Reynolds, North Water street, in the presence of immediate relatives and close friends of the young people. The Rev. Rex O. Holman, of the First Congregational Church, officiated. The bridal party, which included Miss Ola Gladys Hylton, of Ann Arbor, maid of honor, and Frank Emmerling, of Philadelphia, best man, took their appointed places to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by Miss Eileen Fairchild, of Rochester. Ivory satin had been chosen by the bride for her wedding gown, beakutifully fashioned with a princess bodice, long tight sleeves and a circular skirt, made very long and falling to the bloor at the back. The hem was outlined with tulle, and tulle and rose point lace marked the neck line. Her tulle veile was confined to the coiffure in cap effect, with soft bands of the material, and was caught at either side with orange blossoms. The last perfect detail was the wedding bouquet of bride's roses and swansonia tied with a wide satin bow of ivory ribbon. Miss Hylton was charming in chiffon in the lovely autumn copper shade, the bodice fashined in the new silhouette, and the full skirt, made very long, and falling to the floor at the back, made in a series of pointed flounces. A hat of French felt was worn with the costume in harmonizing shade with the gown, and was caught at the right side with a large velvet bow. All dress accessories were in pefect harmony. Her arm boquet contained Korda roses tied with a wide bow of ribbon in colors corresponding to the shades of the roses. A wedding breakfast was served at Christian's Restaurant, the couple leaving later for a motor trip in the east. The bride wore for going away, an ensemble of silk and wool in shades of brown. They will be at home in Philadelphia, where the groom is engaged in business. Mrs. Graff is well known here to many friends, having made her home with Mrs. Reyonlds during her high school career, draduating from the local high school with the class of 1919. She afterwards attended the University of Michigan, and has since been practicing dental hygiene in Detroit. The groom is also a graduate of the university, and it is there that the romance, that culminated in today's wedding, had its inception. Guests from out of the city present for the nuptials were Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Graff, parents of the groom, and Mrs. Frank C. Emmerling, of Philadelphia; Earle Whitmore, of Port Huron; Mr. and Mrs. George Walther, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Wortman, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Coquigne, Mr. and Mrs. William Hermann, of Flint; Dr. and Mrs. Leon Haywood and Miss Cecelia Denks, of Detroit; Mrs. Mary Shaprstene, of San Gabriel, Calif.; Miss Dorothy Ketcham and Miss Marie Kimmel, of Ann Arbor; Miss Madeline Thompson, of Lansing, and Miss Esther Cole, of Rochester.
