Making their new home in Willard are Mr. and Mrs. James Van Dyk, who were recently united in marriage in ceremonies at Holy Family Catholic Church, Willard, on the early afternoon of Saturday, September 13.

Her matching veil was lace edged. She carried a cascade of red roses, stephanotis and baby’s breath. Her attendants wore light blue pleated dresses and carried nosegays of blue carnations, white daisies and baby’s breath.
