Rev. George F. Bauer read the ceremony, which was followed by a reception at the Neuenschwander home.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a gown of antique ivory satin designed with a Peter Pan collar edged in lace and long sleeves, also trimmed with lace.

Her ivory fingertip length veil of illusion was caught to an open-crown satin cap. She carried a shower bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley and stephanotis centered with a white orchid.

Nancy Staffan was her sister’s honor maid and Betty J. Swift, sister of the bridegroom, was the bridesmaid. They were gowned in pink nylon net designed with matching capes. They carried shower bouquets of rubrum lilies and each wore a rubrum lily in her hair.
