The bride’s gown had a bodice of alencon lace and a bouffant skirt of heavy white faille. The dress was designed with a sweetheart neckline, long sleeves that ended in points, and a full skirt which extended into a graceful train. White illusion fashioned her fingertip veil. She carried a bouquet of purple-lipped orchids and lilies of the valley. Mr. Andersen gave his daughter in marriage.

Miss Helga Andersen attened her sister as maid of honor. She wore a floor length dress of white mousseline de soie and carried gardenias and valley lilies. Francis L. Jones of Tampa, Fla., was best man for his brother.
