The bride wore a white dress with white accessories and had a corsage of American Beauty roses.  The groom, being a member of the army air force, wore his dress uniform.  The attendant of the bride was her sister, Miss Esther Laffe, who wore an aqua dress with white accessories, with a corsage of roses and sweet peas.  The groom was attended by the bride’s brother, Herman Laffe of Morrisonville, who wore a navy blue suit.  The bride’s mother wore a dress of navy blue and a white gardenia.  The groom’s mother wore a lavender dress with white gardenia.

A reception was held at the bride’s apartment in Madison following the wedding ceremony.  There were twenty relatives and friends present.  A short honeymoon to the southern part of the state was the plan of the newlyweds, as the groom has only a short furlough from his army service.
