ANNA PEARL GILLILAN WEDDED TO D. B. WELCH
    A pretty home wedding was solemnized yesterday noon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Gillilan, when their daughter, Miss Anna Pearl Gillilan, became a bride of David Barclay Welch.
    The home was decorated with roses and ferns and other garden flowers, the stairs, down which the bride, her father and bridesmaid came, being twined with honeysuckle. The bride stood in front of a large chalice before a window in the living room, the chalice being covered with honeysuckle and roses. It was there the bride met the bridegroom and his best man, George Garnick, and the minister, Dr. George E. Davies.
    Before the ceremony Mrs. Charles Akin of Pittsburgh, Pa., a sister of the bride, sang Cadman’s “At Dawning,” after which Miss Catherine Davies played the wedding march. The bridesmaid was Miss Elizabeth Gillilan, sister of the bride, who preceded the bride down the stairs.
    After the ceremony the guests were entertained at a wedding breakfast in the dining room which was decorated with roses. Mrs. W. D. Gaby presided in this room, while the following young women served: The Misses Marie Gabys, Mary Beach, Flora Duvall and Vera Duvall.
    The bride wore a becoming gown of white organdie and filet lace, with a train of white tulle caught with orange blossoms, and carried a bouquet of white roses. Miss Elizabeth Gillilan, the bridesmaid, wore a white gown embroidered in pink and carried pink roses, her hat being a picture creation in black.
The bridegroom is a son of Mrs. Gertrude Welch of Salt Lake and is connected with the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining company of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Welch left for a short motor trip, after which they will return to Salt Lake to make their home here.
