Alfred and Alice were married at "High Point," 9 Devon Road, Lawrence Park West, Bronxville, NY on Bastille Day, 14 July 1934. Her father, Charles Sperry Andrews wanted to make a trip abroad with Alice's brothers Sperry and David (the youngest, Florie, was to be left in the care of her nurse). The story goes that arrangements were made in rather a hurry so that "CS" could make his trip. A garden wedding, Easter Lilies planted in the garden (in full bloom in July!). Her sister May was her maid of honor and Florie was the bridesmaid.
