The bride wore a white silk dress and veil. The bridesmaid wore a light blue dress with hat to match. Both carried bouquets. Miss M.G. Carey presided at the organ and played the bridal chorus from Lohengrin as the bridal party entered the church, and Mendelssohn’s wedding march as a recessional.
A wedding breakfast for the immediate families were served at the bride’s home and later in the day they left on a trip to New York, Washington and Boston.
