Wearing a light blue suit, a matching off the face hat and a corsage of pink carnations, Miss Arlene M.

The bride’s only attendant, Miss Rita Aubry of Marengo, Ill., wore a light blue dress and a corsage of red carnations.

The groom and his best man, Robert Sarbaugh, of Union, Ill., wore boutonnieres.

A wedding supper was served, following the ceremony, at the White Café, Marengo, Ill., for the bride and groom and their attendants. A three layer wedding cake with a bride and groom decoration, served as a centerpiece.

The couple spent a few days visiting the bride’s relatives in Greenwood, where on Thursday they attended the golden wedding celebration of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. David A. Danielson.
