Her headpiece was of yellow organza flower cluster with nylon tulle veil. Dressed like the maid of honor were bridesmaids, Mrs. Donald Soderberg, Wausau, Rosemary Badzinski and Louella Badzinski. They each carried a cascade of red rose buds.

A reception for 175 guests was held at the Thorp Finance dining hall.
