On Saturday, September 14, 1974, Betty Kaszubowski, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Kaszubowski, Thorp, became the bride of Louis Stokosa Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Stokosa Sr., Lublin. The double ring ceremony was performed at 12:30 in the afternoon by Rather Stanley Chilicki at St. Mary’s Czestochowa.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a full length princes style gown of Sata Peau, and Venice lace with a Victorian novelty bib bodice, and a high neckline of lace, trimmed with pearls and edged with lace. The long tapered lace sleeves were also trimmed with pearls. The skirt had re-embroidered lace and pearl appliques with a wide lace flounce at the hemline and around the chapel train. The Camelot headpiece secured a long lace edged veil. The bride carried a bouquet of red roses and white carnations entwined with baby’s breath.
