One of the most important of the out-of-town weddings last Wednesday was that of Miss Dorothy Rand, a daughter pf Mrs. George Curtis Rand, and Payson McLane Merrill of New York City, which took place at St. John's Episcopal Church, Far Rockaway.
The bride wore a trained white satin gown trimmed with rose point, and the tulle vail had a wide border of rose point. She carried lillies of the valley and white orchids.
Miss Margery Oakes Rand and Miss Eugenie Oakes Rand, the flower girls, and her only attendants, were in white lace-trimmed lingere frocks topped by white lingere hats trimmed with blue ribbon and pink roses. They carried nosegays of forget-me-nots, moss roses, and marguerites set in gauze frills.
John de Koven Alsop was Mr. Merril's best man, and the ushers were Laurance Blanchard Rand, William Blanchard Rand, Charles E. Merrill Jr., a brother of the bridegroom; Alfred F. Ferguson, Ellis Adams, Franklin B. Lord, Grenville Parker, and George Page Ely. The reception was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Francke, son-in-lawa and daughter of Mrs. Rand, at Lawrence, L.I.
