Miss Marlene Anderegg was wearing a white, pure silk, organza over taffeta gown when she approached the altar, on the arm of her father to become the bride of Gary D. Kuechenmeister.

The gown was styled with a bouffant skirt with train, a large bow trim at the back, and a sequin-lace trimmed neckline. She carried a crescent arrangement of red roses centered with a pure white orchid.

The Rev. John Pfohl officiated at the double ring ceremony at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, in Trinity Lutheran Church, Loyal.  The church was decorated with gladioli.

Miss Jean Noeldner was at the organ and Miss Nelda Foelske sang, "Today, O Lord" and "The Lord’s Prayer."
