Edblom, Carol R. (1 Feb 1964)

Miss Carol Rae Edblom, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arlyn Edblom, and Allen Hugh Duvall, son of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Duvall, were united in marriage Saturday, Feb. 1, 1964, in the Trinity Lutheran Church, Unity.

Rev. Robert Langseth officiated at the 1:30 p.m. double ring ceremony. Maldon Plank, Marshfield, was the organist and Mrs. Howard Rannow, Colby, sang "The Lord's Prayer" and "Wedding Prayer."

Pink gladiolas and yellow pompons decorated the church.

The bride, who was presented in marriage by her father, appeared before the altar wearing a full length gown of Chantilly lace, featuring a modified Sabrina neckline trimmed with sequins and pearls. A full length panel of lace accented the front of the skirt, which was completed with all around tiers of lace edged with sequins.

Her fingertip veil of French illusion was secured to a crown of pearls with lace insertions. The bridal bouquet was a cascade arrangement of pink roses, white pompons and streamers with rosebuds.

Mrs. Pat Suckow, Unity, was the matron of honor, and Mrs. Bernard Stuttgen, Mt. Sterling, and Mrs. Janalee Gustafson, Colby, were the bridesmaids. The bride's attendants wore ballerina length formals of sapphire blue peau de soie styled with fitted bodices and bateau necklines. The controlled skirts featured bustle backs, with bow trim and were accented with embroidered, with motifs in front.
