A typed news release describing the wedding of Hattie Naomi Frasure (aka Frazier) and Russell Walker at the home of the bride's parents in New York City. Including a charmingly, detailed description of the bride's and bridemaid's dresses as well as the floral decorations, it also mentions a later reception for 450 people at the Walker home in Richmond. Laura Frazier, mother of the bride, was a longtime, childhood friend of Mrs. Walker. She and Mrs Walker remained friends all their lives.
