High Noon Rites Read
In a high noon ceremony yesterday in Burlington, N.C., Miss Louise Anderson Atwater, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Anderson Atwater, became the bride of Joseph Charles Gould, son of Brig. Gen. and Mrs. M. Joseph Gould, of Clearwater. The Rev. Walter C. Ball officiated at the rites at Front Street Methodist Church.
Floor baskets of white gladioli and pompons, and altar vases of the same flowers and ferns, in background of Kentia palms provided the decorations. Mrs. Chester Alexander, organist, and James Chamblee, vocalist, presented a program of wedding music.
Mr. Atwater gave his daughter in marriage. She wore a white gown of Chantilly lace with a fitted jacket, covering a strapless bodice. The waltz-length skirt was fashioned of triple tiers of lace over taffeta. She carried a white, lace-covered prayerbook, topped with a white orchid and showered with valley lilies.
Miss Audrey Allen, of Coral Gables, attended as maid of honor. Bridesmaids were the Misses Jane Elder and Patricia Gordon, both of Burlington. All wore dresses of sapphire blue, in pure silk crystalette, made with draped bodlces and fall skirts. They carried colonial nosepays of white roses and carnations, with blue delphinium and white gypsophilis.
Honorary bridesmaids were the Misses Jean Foster, Joan Foster, Mary Anne Smith, Mona Hoffman and Rebecca Neel, all of Burlington.
Robert William Gould, Clearwater, served his brother as best man. Usher-groomsmen were Henry Atwater, brother of the bride, Thomas B. DeLoache, Burlington; James Atwater, Greensboro, and Alan Morehouse, Jacksonville.
Following the ceremony the bride's parents entertained at a wedding breakfast at their home.
When the couple left for a wedding trip the bride wore a two-piece yellow suit with a knife-pleated skirt of Italian raw silk and cotton. Her accessories were black and her corsage an orchid.
Mr. and Mrs. Gould will reside at 213 Northwest 25th St., Gainesville, after Sept. 1.
