The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, who gave her away. She looked dainty in her simple gown of stiffened lace over white satin, her tulle veil held in place with two arum lilies veiled in tulle and tied with white satin rib bon. Miss Marjorie Bell, who attended her sister as bridesmaid, wore cycla men pink georgette, trimmed with silver lame over taffeta, and a lame Juliette cap, finished with a shoulder length pink tulle veil.
