Miss Helen Marie Langfeldt became the bride Monday, Sept. 28, of  Norman Polasek of Minneapolis at a 9 a.m. ceremony in St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, Loyal, the Rev. Norbert E. King, officiating.

Her full bouffant skirt was made with a chapel length train. To hold her finger-tip veil of sheer imported illusionette she wore a headpiece of rhinestones and seedpearls.
