The bride’s attendant was her sister, Terri Grabowski of Chicago, Ill., who wore a ballerina length cocktail dress of russet and brown with matching hat and shoes.  Her bouquet consisted of yellow roses.

Attending the groom was John Levien, a cousin of the bride, of Chicago, Ill.

Rosebuds on the tables and colored streamers and white bells were used as decorations.

A reception was given by the bride’s parents at Koolmo’s Night Club near Gilman with old time music throughout the afternoon and evening.
