Weix, Patricia (Marriage - 1 Oct. 1946)

Miss Patricia Weix, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Weix, Colby, Route 1, became the bride of Frank Carpenter, son of Mrs. Cathryn Carpenter of Abbotsford, Tuesday morning, at 8:30. The Rev. N.

The bride wore a gown of white slipper satin, designed with a fitted bodice with self trim buttons down the back, long sleeves and a sweetheart neck line. A net overskirt over satin ended in a long train. Her veil, also made with a train, was lace edged and fell from a beaded head piece. She wore a string of pearls and carried a bouquet of white lilies, carnations and American beauty roses.

Attending her as maid of honor was her cousin, Miss Kathryn Beer, of Le Center, Minn. A blue frock of net over satin with little pink bows tied on, a gold locket, a matching veil with floral headpiece and a wrist corsage completed her ensemble.

Miss Alexander wore a pink dress with satin bodice and net over satin skirt. Mrs. Kilty also wore a pink dress designed with a lace bodice and lace insertions in the net skirt worn over taffeta.
