The bride approached the altar in a fitted gown of white satin. A beaded pearl headdress held her fingertip veil in place. She carried a bouquet of red roses and white pompoms.

Serving as maid of honor for the bride was his sister, Dorothy, who was dressed in a Nile green formal with matching mitts and headband. She carried a bouquet of white carnations and pompoms.

Pierre Liberty, brother of the bride, served as best man for the occasion.

A dinner and reception was held in the church hall for friends and relatives.
