Beautiful Ceremonies Conducted Today When Prominent Couple Wed

Beautiful in its simplicity, yet gorgeous in its appointments was the wedding ceremony today when Miss Mary Suzanne Voegele, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Voegele, 380 Park avenue west became the bride of Gaylord Bahl, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Bahl, Sr., Park avenue west road.  The ceremony was performed this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the living room of the Women's club with Rev. A. M. Hughes, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, pronouncing the words that united the popular young couple as man and wife.  Over one hundred guests were assembled in the rooms of the club house for the wedding and reception which followed.  Beautiful bouquets of asters, zinnias, gladioli and other full flowers adorned the rooms of the house, which in the style of architecture, was ideal for the simple, colonial wedding.  Miss Mary Ihrig and Miss Margaret Hoover, friends of the bride, ushered the guests to their places.  Previous to the ceremony the Mendelssohn Trio, composed of Mrs. Katherine Schafer Platt, violinist, Miss Minnie Marks, pianist, and Eugene Smart, celloist, played "Visions" by Tschaikowshy.  Heralding the approach of the wedding party, the trio played "Love's Greeting" by Elgar, and during the ceremony, "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice," by Saint-Saons.  "Serenade" by Widor was played following the ceremony and during the reception various classic and operatic numbers were given by the trio.  The groom met the officiating minister at the foot of the stairs and they proceded to take their places before the oval shaped bower of green in the living room.  Tall vases, filled with garden flowers, and joined together with satin ribbons and bows, formed an aisle for the wedding party from the stairs to the improvised bower.  Miss Mildred Voegele, oldest sister of the bride, was maid of honor, and appeared dressed in a sleeveless gown of light blue and orchid taffeta, fashioned with tight bodice and full, uneven skirt and wearing an old fashioned bonnet of light blue and orchid taffeta.  Silver brocaded slippers completed her colonial costume.  She carried a corsage of small asters, in the shades of orchid and white, and forget-me-nots, outlined with a border of lace.  Mr. Voegele gave his daughter away in marriage, and met her as she descended the stairs.  The bride was lovely in her gown of shell pink chiffon, studded with rhinestones.  Her costume was also sleeveless, with tight bodice and full uneven skirt, and she wore a shell pink chiffon hat, similar to those worn in Colonial days.  Silver kid slippers completed her costume.  Her bouquet was a shower of Opelia roses and lily of the valley.  She carried a handkerchief made from her great, grandmother's wedding dress, trimmed with lace from the handkerchief carried by her mother at her own wedding.  Immediately after the ceremony, a reception was held at the club house and tea served, with Miss Jeanette Henkel and Miss Marjorie McLean, intimate friends of the bride, presiding.  A huge bowl of roses adorned the table and tall candles in low colonial holders completed the effective decorations.  A beautiful silver tea service was used, Miss Jane Voegele, youngest sister of the bride, distributed small white boxes, tied with dainty white ribbons, that contained bride and groom wedding cake.  Out-of-town guests at the wedding included Miss Helen Shawaker, of Upper Arlington, Columbus; Miss Marjorie Hamblin, of Cleveland, both school mates of the bride, and J. P. Bahl of Cleveland.  Mr. and Mrs. Bahl, Jr., left on an extended wedding trip, and upon their return will be at home to their friends at their newly furnished home in West Ausdale.  Mrs. Bahl wore a dress of chanel red satin and georgette, with chanel red satin hat, tailored traveling coat and accessories of beige for traveling.  The bride graduated from Mansfield High school in the class of 1922 and attended Sullins College, Sullins, W. Va., and Lake Erie college for Women, Painesville.  The groom is a graduate of Mansfield High school with the class of 1920, and attended Culver Academy, Bellefonte Academy, Bellefonte, Pa., and Dykes School of Business, Cleveland.  Mr. Bahl has the distinction of being the youngest thirty-second degree Mason in Mansfield.  Mr. Bahl is associated with his father in the G.
