My grandparents, Mabel & WG Harry, were married January 5, 1921. Today is their 99th Wedding Anniversary. I have a little information about their honeymoon to share.
They stayed at the Hotel Georgian Terrace in Atlanta. This was an elegant hotel with beautiful crystal & Italian bronze chandeliers, white marble columns, ornate pilasters, paneled walls, elliptical staircases, and Italian tiled floors. If you are interested, look up the Hotel in Wikipedia. Many very famous people have stayed there. It was the site of the gala for the Gone With the Wind premier. All the stars for the movie, except Vivian Leigh stayed there. Interesting history.
Notice the rates for a night stay are $6.00 or $7.00. The renovated/expanded hotel is just as elegant & must be much, much more expensive.
They traveled by train from Bullochville (Warm Springs) to Atlanta. From Atlanta they traveled first to Grover, NC to visit the Harry family. Grady's brother, C F Harry & his wife, held a lovely reception for them. I need to scan & add an article about it. Then they proceeded on to New Orleans, where Grady was pastor of the Carrollton Presbyterian Church.
