      At a 2 o’clock wedding Sunday afternoon Miss Kay Creekmur, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Merle Creekmur, 1222 E. Olive St., and Richard Pullins, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Pullins of Pershing Road, were married in the Third Evangelical United Brethern Church. The Rev. Orville Salzman performed the ceremony in the presence of 300 guests before a chapel adorned with palms, greenery and tinted oak leaves against which were arranged tall white baskets of giant white chrysanthemums accented with yellow, salmon and maroon pom-pons.
       Following the ceremony, a reception was held in the church. The bride’s gown was white brocaded satin designed princess style, flared from the waist and worn over a hoop. The square neckline featured a trim of folds of satin across the front, draped on each side to the waist and extending into points. Her short veil of nylon tulle, two-tiered, fell from a Juliet cap of brocaded satin. She wore short white gloves and carried three huge white Duchess roses with foliage. Mrs. Max McNeely, the bride’s twin sister, was maid of honor. Her dress was dark green taffeta designed with a sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice and full, hooped skirt, baHferina length. She wore slippers to match her dress and short white gloves. She carried a colonial bouquet of salmon pompons and tinted oak leaves. Bridesmaid was Miss Carol Rostek in a brown taffeta dress stvled identically to the matron of hon or s, and she wore matching slippers and short white gloves. Her bouquet was of vellow pom-pons.

She carried a colonial bouquet of maroon pom pons. All three attendants wore Peter Pan peeked-hats, with the crowns encircled by pom pons to match the bouquet.
