Miss Margie Karaba, Owen, a sister of the bride, was maid of honor, wearing a Nile green floor length dress and carrying green tinted and white carnations.  Mrs. John Karaba, West Allis, in yellow and Miss Barbara Peissig, sister of the groom in orchid, were the bridesmaids.  Their gowns were styled like the maid of honor’s and their flowers were tinted to match their ensembles.

The bridal gown was made of nylon and lace.  She carried red roses and white carnations.

Dale Peissig, Withee, was his brother’s best man with John Karaba, brother of the bride from West Allis, and Leonard Sluzewski, Owen, serving as groomsmen.
