For her wedding, the bride wore a floor length gown of nylon sheer over taffeta styled by a scalloped Sabina neckline with rhinestone trim, a fitted bodice and long tapered sleeves above the bouffant skirt with Alencon lace trim.  Tiara of nylon sheer ruffles extended downt he back of the skirt.  Her fingertip veil of imported tulle with hand rolled edge was attached to a headpiece of rhinestones and seed pearls, and she carried a colonial cascade arrangement of roses, stephanotis and ivy.

Mrs. Gerald Schwantes of Spencer attended the bride as her matron of honor.  Junior bride was Debbie Pockrandt of Loyal, who wore a dress of the same style as that of the bride.

Junior groom was Edward Haslow of Loyal, who attended the groom with the best man, Gerald Schwantes of Spencer.  Ushering wedding guests were Verlyn Pockrandt of Loyal and Nyle Brandt of Greenwood.
