Kappas-Petrokas Nuptials
Greek Orthodox Ceremony Performed by Rev. John Magoulias.

The Madison Presbyterian church was the scene of an impressive ceremony yesterday afternoon at five o'clock when Miss Tasia Petrokas of Madison, became the bride of Mr. Peter J. Kappas of Cincinnati. The service was performed by the Reverend John Magoulias, pastor of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox church of Cincinnati.

Miss Petrokas who entered on the arm of her father, looked lovely in a long flowering gown of white satin, made with a train of white tulle veil fell from a coronet cap caught with orange blossoms. She carried a white bride's bouquet. The groom was also accompanied to the altar by his father James Kappas.

Misses Christina and Catherine Petrokas, twin sisters of the bride, were maids of honor. They wore dresses just alike of pink taffeta, made with round necks, short puff sleeves and long skirts. They carried small pink bouquets and wore tiny bunches of lilies of the valley in their hair. Mary Glass Petrokas was flower girl and the ring tray and wreath were borne by Ingram Petrokas. Martha Petrokas and Teddy Kappas carried the bride's train.

The four bridesmaids wore chiffon frocks in different pastel colors. They were all made alike with shirt cape sleeves edged with matching chiffon plaiting, deep V decollete in back, and long skirts banded with plaited ruffling. They carried arm bouquets to match their dresses. Miss Louise Bloom blue, Miss Helen Kurias yellow and Miss Vivienne Kirgan green. The bridesmaids escorts who all wore dark suits were Logan Lynch, Charles Scholl, Petras Petrokas and Chris Kalsetos. Ushers were Everett Stutsman, Hendon Harris, Joe Joyce, and Charles Hugeback.

A reception and wedding banquet was held at the Hillside Hotel at eight o'clock last night. There were two hundred and twenty-five guests with friends and relatives from Cincinnati, Hamilton, Dayton and Akron, Ohio, Hopkinsville, Newport, and louisvllie, Ky.; Salem and Aurora, Indiana. The dining rooms of the hotel were decorated with flowers and festoons of crepe paper in pink, green, and yellow. The table decorations were carried out in the same color scheme. The tables were decorated with sprays of pink weigela and mock Orange blossoms, and large bouquets of pink gladiola. Baskets of pink weigela and lavender and yellow iris were also used to decorate the rooms. The bride's table had for a center-piece a three tiered bride's cake, topped by a miniature bride and groom under a tiny canopy.

During the banquet the Reverend Magoulias made a talk, and many telegrams of congratulations from relatives and friends at a distance were read. Demaree's orchestra provided music for dancing after the dinner. One of the features of the dance was a Greek folk dance, the music for which was played by Louise and Nicholas Kurlas and Michael and George Menas.

Mrs. Kappas is the daughter of Mr. John Petrokas of this city. She attended the Madison high school for several years, and has many friends among Madison young people. Mr. Kappas is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Kappas of Cincinnati. He is treasurer of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox church of Cincinnati.

The couple left last night for a trip through the east, after which they will make their home in Cincinnati, where Mr. Kappas is engaged in business in real estate and insurance.
