Lobacz, Regina (28 AUG 1948)

On Saturday morning, Aug. 28, 1948, at nine o’clock a beautiful wedding took place at St. Hedwig’s Church when Regina Lobacz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Lobacz, became the bride of Chester Rogalski, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Rogalski. Father Piekarski performed the double ring ceremony.

The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a beautiful fine marquisette gown with beaded neckline and long ruffled train. Her long veil trimmed with lace was held by a beaded crown. She carried a bouquet of white roses and white pompoms centered with an orchid.
