In the room in which her parents, Jesse Warren Timmerman and Marie Adams, were married, June 4, 1914, and with the same minister, Bishop William N. Ainsworth, officiating and the same musicians, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Guttenberger, playing the same wedding music, Miss Evelyn Timmerman became the bride of Charles Herron Fairbanks, of Macon, Ga., formerly of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], at noon Saturday, February 8, 1941. The ceremony took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Timmerman and Mrs. Timmerman's mother, Mrs. Charlton Berrian Adams, in Macon, Ga., on College street, and was followed by a wedding breakfast. Given in marriage by her father, the bride had as her only attendant her younger sister, Miss Mary Timmerman. Tom Fleming, of Atlanta, was best man for the groom. For the wedding processional, Mr. Guttenberger, pianist, and Mrs. Guttenberger, violinist, played Mendelssohn's Wedding March as they did at the wedding of the bride's parents and they also included in the program "Evening Star" from Tannhauser which they played at the other wedding. The maid of honor and then the bride and her father descended the stairway and the ceremony was performed at an improvised altar arranged before the fireplace in the back parlor where the altar had been arranged for Mr. and Mrs. Timmerman. It was banked with palms, the greenery covering the mantel and at each side were tall arrangements of Bermuda Lilies. The maid of honor was gowned in ice blue marquisette, her dress made with round shoulder yoke and long full sleeves edged with silver lace. Lace also edged the fitted, corselet waistline. The skirt flared widely. She wore blue satin slippers embroidered with silver and carried a bouquet of Briarcliff roses. The bride was gowned in traditional white satin. A yoke of marquisette was set into the waist with plaited band of satin and pearls, outlined the high round neck. Tiny satin covered buttons fastened the back of the long fitted waist onto which the skirt was gathered fully. The long satin train extended from the skirt. The sleeves, puffed at the shoulders were fitted into points over the wrists. From an orange blossom tiara her tulle veil fell in two lengths, one short one and one that floated out the length of her satin train. Her slippers were white satin and she carried a sheaf of calla lilies tied with a satin ribbon. She also carried her mother's wedding handkerchief. After the ceremony the bridal couple, Mrs. Timmerman and the groom's mother, Mrs. Louis B. Fairbanks, of Bainbridge formed the line that greeted the guests. Mrs. Timmerman was gowned in a floor-length dress of green-blue crepe, the waist and elbow length sleeves embroidered with gold and coral, the neckline and sleeves edged with small scallops. At her shoulder was a corsage of Talisman roses. Mrs. Fairbanks wore a Copenhagen blue crepe dress, street length, and matching hat timed with pink feather roses and a blue veil. Her corsage was of pink roses. Mrs. Adams, the bride's grandmother, wore a black crepe gown, long, the waist and long sleeves embroidered with crystals. Her corsage was of white roses. Mrs. John J. McKay, Jr., Mrs. Holmes Mason, Mrs. Ernest Black and Mrs. Ernest Corn presided over the two punch tables. Others assisting in entertaining were Mrs. Frampton Farmer, Mrs. Thurston Futch, Mrs. H.P. Heath, of Columbia, S.C., aunt of the bride, Mrs. Northrup Smith, Mrs. Stewart Cole, Mrs. P.O. Holliday, Mrs. J.C. Anderson and Mrs. Lee Worsham. A group of the bride's friends who served included Miss Eugenia Anderson, Miss Martha Emma Watson, Mrs. Jack Tarver Miss Jane Huckabee, Misses Eva, Emily, and Anne Heath, of Columbia, S.C., Miss Anne Lillian Mann, Miss Jean MacDonnell, Miss Onie Ruth Burns, Miss Betty Futch and Miss Marcella Martin. Through the house were effective flower arrangements. In the other parlor were white gladioli and in the library pink ones were used. In the dining room all the decorations were white. The bride's table was covered with a linen cloth trimmed with Irish lace medallions and cutwork and edged with filet lace. In the center was the wedding cake, a three-tired one embossed with white flowers bedecked with net leaves and topped with a tiny colonial bride and groom dressed in white satin. It was a plateau edged with lace frills and frosted net leaves. At each end of the table a silver bowl held white hyacinths and narcissus and silver compotes held peppermints. In the early afternoon the bridal couple left by motor for a wedding trip, the bride changing for traveling to a three piece spring costume of beige wool suit and topcoat, with which she wore a pale green crepe blouse, a brown felt hat and accessories that combined brown and beige. Later they will make their home at Ocmulgee National Monument where Mr. Fairbanks is archaeologist. Out of town guests here for the wedding included the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis B. Fairbanks, his brother, Paul Fairbanks, of Bainbridge, N.Y.; and his sisters, Miss Mary Fairbanks, of Washington, D.C. and Miss Helen Fairbanks, of New York City.--The Macon Telegraph and News.
