SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD - CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1934 GARDEN SETTING IS SCENE OF WEDDING OF MODOC MAID At a beautiful garden ceremony performed Thursday morning at 10 o’clock at the home of the bride’s grandmother, Mrs. Jessie Stiner, and aunt, Miss Ina Stiner, Arthayda Helen Stiner became the bride of Clyde E. Quick, the impressive ring service being read by Rev. Virgil A. Vinyard of Cedarville, California. Carrying out a tradition in the family of the bride, the wedding Thursday morning marked the fourth generation of the Stiner family to be married in the month of March. The young couple exchanged their vows beneath a beautiful arbor covered with golden Emblem roses, banked with baskets of Calla Lilies. Greenery and a lattice entwined with sweet peas in their loveliness of coloring, iris and roses formed a veritable bower. Pansies bordered the lawn and a wealth of beautiful blossoms formed a background for the ceremony, charming beyond description. Rustic garden furniture in gay colors, the songs of birds from the branches of nearby trees, the perfume of orange blossoms in the air and the mellow sunlight falling through the leafy arbors, made the scene one long to be remembered. The bride entered the garden on the arm of her father, Arthur Stiner. She was lovely in a flowing gown of white silk chiffon, the long skirt fashioned with ruffled panel inserts and the bodice with puffed sleeves. The softly pleated girdle was of palest pink and blue velvet. She carried a bouquet of gardenias, lilies-of-the-valley, delphinium and ferns. Her kerchief was of rose point lace, belonging to her great aunt. Her pearl necklace was the gift of the bridegroom. The bridesmaid, Miss Marcella Stiner, sister of the bride, was charming in yellow organdie and carried brown and yellow pansies. They were met at the altar by the groom, the minister and Adrian Quick, who served his brother as best man. Other members of the bridal party, who were grouped about the improvised altar, were Mrs. Arthur Stiner, mother and Miss Ina Stiner, aunt of the bride; Mrs. Carl Pisor and Norman Jackson.
