The wedding was solemnized by nuptial high mass by the Rev. Albert P. Roemer, in St. John’s Catholic church in Marshfield, before an altar decorated with baskets of Autumn flowers.

The bride’s gown was of white satin, lace trimmed, princess style, fitted bodice, lace inserts, and train. Her fingertip lace-edged veil was caught to a seed pearl crown. She carried two green orchids on her prayer book, and her jewelry was pearls, a gift of the groom.

The bride’s sister, Miss Helen De Vore, of Dawson, was maid of honor, wore a heaven blue formal with fitted bodice and full sheer skirt. Her jewelry, pearls, was a gift of the bride. She carried a colonial bouquet of white and yellow mums.
