Wedding vows were repeated December 29, 1965, at a 3:30 p.m. wedding ceremony in the Loyal Methodist Church, uniting in marriage Miss Carmella Rae Grambsch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Grambsch of Loyal, and Charles E.

Seed pearls trimmed the lace on the bodice and upper portion of the "A-line" skirt.  The back was completed with a detachable chapel train of peau de soie, edged with lace, which fell from the waist.  Her finger-tip illusion veil was secured to an open crown pill box of peau de soie with bow trim.  She wore a single strand of pearls, a gift of the groom, and carried a bouquet of red carnations and fresh holly.

The backs were completed with large red satin bows and silk illusion veils. The gowns were made by the bride.  The attendants carried floral pieces of white carnations and fresh holly.
