Sherman, Mary Adelle (8 OCT 1965)

A new home at 635 Chalamette Street, Cheyenne, Wyoming was ready for the new Mr. and Mrs. James Rankl on their return from a honeymoon trip to the Colorado Rockies.

The Rev. Warren Dirks officiated at the double ring ceremony at 5 o’clock before the altar adorned with white and yellow mums and lighted candles. Mrs. Dirks was the organist.

The four children of the bride preceded her to the altar as she approached, escorted by her father.

Miss Debra Sherman of Ogden, Utah served as maid of honor, and wore a yellow dress made like the bride’s, and a headpiece of yellow satin with a yellow mum. She carried a large white mum with yellow streamers. Caroline, in a rose colored velvet dress, and a mum in her hair, was flower girl, and Karl was the ring bearer.

For her wedding the bride chose a champagne colored street length dress with empire styling and an A-line waist detailed with beads. She wore a short matching veil and carried a white Bible on which was placed a yellow throated orchid.

The mothers of the bridal couple were presented with corsages of yellow rose buds.

A wedding reception followed the ceremony and dinner for the bridal party and immediate families was served at the home of the bride.
