MRS. CORWIN G. DEAN, nee Celina Ann McNeil

In one of the loveliest weddings of the season, Miss Celina Ann McNeil became the bride of Mr. Corwin Godfrey Dean Wednesday morning when Rev. Father Joseph L. Bauer officiated at nuptial High Mass at the Catholic Church of the Nativity in the presence of 350 guests.

The bride, lovely in a gown of heirloom lace and tulle fashioned with long sleeves and train and wearing a full length veil, carried white gladioli and orchids. Mrs. Frances Hicks attended her sister as matron of honor in powder blue lace with matching tulle hat and carrying pink gladioli.

Miss Ramona Carlin, as bridesmaid, also wore powder blue lace and carried an arm bouquet of salmon gladioli. Little Delores Payne and Sally Taylor, in blue net, were flower girls. Clifford Sprague of Paso Robles was the bridegroom's attendant and ushers were James Dean of Long Beach and Phil Tepper.

A reception followed at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. D. McNeil of 1744 Andreo ave.

Mrs. McNeil received her guests dressed in an R. A. F. blue ensemble with silver trim, complemented with fantasia corsage. At the buffet table, at which a four-tiered wedding cake was cut, Mrs. Clifford Sprague of Paso Robles, sister of the bride, and Mrs. P. S. Taylor, of Long Beach, poured.

Mr. and Mrs. Dean left for a honeymoon at Yosemite and upon their return they will make their home here. Mrs. Dean has been employed as accountant at Mayfair Creamery for a number of years and her husband is coordinating supervisor at Douglas, El Segundo.
