Erickson, Karen S. (5 OCT 1963)


White Fuji mums and white pompons adorned the altar of Holy Rosary Catholic Church at Owe, for the wedding of Miss Karen Scott Erickson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emery M.

The wedding took place on the birthday of the bride’s grandfather, Mr. W.J. Mahoney, Sr., who was honored at the breakfast following the ceremony.

The bride wore a white peau de soie bridal gown with a demure scoop neckline and imported re-embroidered Alencon lace on the bodice and skirt front. The floor length dome skirt flowed into a chapel train.

A princess crown of pearls and crystals held her double bouffant veil. The bride carried a cascade bouquet of three Fuji mums and stephanotis secured with white ribbon.
