Floyd A. Fahlgren officiated at the ceremony.

Mrs. Leona Hansen sang two solos, "Because" and "At Dawning," accompanied at the piano by Miss Lydia Goeres, who also played the wedding march and recessional.

The bride was attired in a gown of white net over satin. A tiara of crown pearls on satin held the finger-tip veil, and she carried a bouquet of peach colored Roosevelt roses.
