Helen Antoinette Towas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Towas of Third St., spoke her marriage vows to James David Killins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn E. Killins of Liberty Rd., in a ceremony Saturday morning in St. Thomas Catholic Church.

Rev. Kenneth MacKinnon read the ceremony in the presence of the families and a few friends. A breakfast and reception followed in the Allenel Hotel.

Emily Teres of Jackson Rd. was the maid of honor. Her ballerina-length gown was of moss green iridescent taffeta. She wore a matching cloche and carried pink roses and chrysanthemums.

Robert L. Killins was his brother’s best man. Al Towas, brother of the bride, and Dr. Charles Killins of Detroit, brother of the bridegroom, seated the guests.

Pouring at the reception were Mrs. Charles Killins and Mrs. Roman Iwaskiewicz of Detroit. Mrs. Michael Piasta of Detroit cut the wedding cake and Joan Towas, sister of the bride, was in charge of the guest book.

Honeymoon At Chicago

The newlyweds are spending a week in Chicago and after Dec. 4 will live at 1130 Parker, Parkhurst Apartments, Indian Village, Detroit.
