The double ring ceremony was performed before an altar decorated with baskets of peonies, roses, orange blossoms and white candelabra.

The bride was attired in a white taffeta faille ballerina-length gown, with overskirts of nylon net and silk organza.  She carried a bridal bouquet of red and white roses.

Mrs. Rolland Aubey, Port Edwards, was her matron of honor, and Mr. Aubey attended the groom as bestman.

A reception was held at the York Town Hall and at the home of the bride.
