White gladioli bouquets decorated the church altars.  The Sisters of St. Hedwig’s and children’s’ school choir sang the Nuptial Mass and "On This Day O Beautiful Mother," while the bride offered her bouquets to the Blessed Virgin.

The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a chapel length gown of silk organza over tissue silk.  It was fashioned with a fitted bodice and long tapered wrist length sleeves.  Appliques of miniature roses of silk organza outlined the scoop neckline and accented the bouffant skirt.
