Entering the church on the arm of her father who gave her in marriage, the bride was lovely in a wedding gown of white satin, fashioned with a high round neckline, bertha collar, yoke and edging of collar were of net matching the finger tip veil which was held in place by shirred satin matching the dress, and pearls. The full length princess line skirt terminated in a circular train, sleeves were long, fitted, ending in a point over her hand, and trimmed in seed pearls. Her only accessories were her mother's single strand of pearls and matching ear rings. She carried a white prayer book adorned with white orchids and baby's breath plus white satin streamers.
Miss Marcene Rickle of Glennie was maid of honor. Her gown was a pastel blue taffeta, form fitting bodice and long full skirt. She carried a colonial bouquet of peach colored rose buds and carnations, trimmed with white lace and backed in a deep peach satin background.
