A home in Loyal awaits Mr. and Mrs. James Welsh upon their return from a honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls, New York.

The former Patricia Kathryn Milz and James Henry Welsh were married Saturday at 10:30 a.m. in St. Anthony’s Catholic Church by Rev. Norbert E. King.  They are the son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Welsh, Loyal and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Milz, Loyal.

The bride wore a floor length gown of Chantilly lace over taffeta with a jewel trimmed scalloped Sabrina neckline and long sleeves.  The bouffant skirt was fashioned with all around tiers of lace with a chapel sweep back.  Her elbow length veil was attached to a crown of pearls and sequins.
