Knight, Corrine E. (24 JUN 1961)

Marriage vows were exchanged between Miss Corrine E. Knight and Robert T. Roy at Christ Lutheran Church Saturday afternoon at three o’clock, when the Rev. F. H.

The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of white silk organza.  Silver thread embroidery extended in the bracelet length sleeves and embroidered panels detailed the floor length gown with its chapel length train.  White satin was used in bordering the V neckline and in a large bow at the back of the waist, and in the pill box, that held her French illusion veil.  She carried a white prayer book, a gift from her parents, on which were white gardenias and stephanotis.

Roy, grandmother of the groom, was honored with a corsage of yellow roses and carnations.
