Following the ceremony a wedding dinner was served at the home of the bride’s parents, which was decorated with pink, blue and white streamers. Later in the day a reception was held at the Denzin home and a dance was given at the Trianon Gardens.

Mr. and Mrs. Underwood left on a wedding trip to southern Wisconsin. On their return they will reside on the farm with the groom’s parents.
