Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a floor length gown of Chantilly lace over taffeta, with the Basque bodice styled with Sabrina neckline. The full bouffant skirt was fashioned with a ruffled tier.  Her long train was attached by two bows at the shoulders.  A leaf cluster headpiece, decorated with seed pearls, held her bouffant veil. She carried a bouquet of pink and white carnations, with pink rosebuds.
 
Miss Kris Englebretson of Loyal served as maid of honor.  Miss Mary Ann Resong, sister of the groom, was the bridesmaid.  They wore pink floor length dresses styled with Empire waistlines.  Lace over taffeta bodice topped the crepe skirts. Their bouquets were pink rosebuds with white carnations.
