Approaching the altar the bride wore a floor length gown of organza and Alencon lace. The fitted bodice was trimmed with Alencon designed with an open neckline, and short sleeves. The bell shaped skirt with a panel was bordered with Alencon lace and complemented by a sweeping, chapel train, accented by a scatter pattern of lace motifs. The butterfly veil was held in place by a wide crown of Alencon lace and seed pearls. Her cascade bouquet was made up of white cymbidium orchids with stephanotis and ivy.

The bride's maid of honor was her sister, Miss Kristina Micke, with bridesmaids, Mrs. Klayon Micke, Owen, and Mrs. Thomas Smith, Wisconsin Rapids. Junior bridesmaid was Miss Bonnie Bord, sister of the groom, from Wisconsin Rapids. They were attired in yellow floor length gowns in sheer over taffeta.
