The maid of honor, Miss Margie Hoftiezer, Spencer, wore a rose-colored dress and a pink bonnet. She carried a bouquet of pink roses.

The brides neice [sic] Phyllis Seefeld, Spencer, was flower girl. She wore a pink taffta [sic] dress and carried a basket of assorted flowers.

The groom was attended by Virgil Seefeld, Spencer, as best man; Kenneth Mellenthin, Spencer, cousin of the bride and Dewaine Marten, Riplinger, brother of the groom, as groomsmen; Glen Seefeld, Spencer, nephew of the bride, as ring-bearer.
