John J. Weber, Milwaukee, brother-in-law of the bride, was the guitar-soloist. Mrs. Dan Decker was the organist and Mrs. martin Schultz, the soloist.

Miss Patricia Ann Schmidt, Mount Prospect, Illinois, was her sister’s matron of honor, and bridesmaids were Margi Seefluth, Owen, sister of the groom, Kathleen M. Weber, Milwaukee, and Marjean Schmidt, Mount Prospect, Illinois, sister of the bride.

The high neckline of Chantilly lace and pearl trim accented the self-ruffle encircling her shoulders and long tapered sleeves. Her floor length veil edged with cathedral lace formed a double net train. She carried a cascade of American Beauty and pink roses centered with a white orchid held by baby’s breath, fern and white streamer of rose buds.

The bride’s attendants wore matching flow gowns of organza over pink taffeta with neckline flounce. Pink chiffon cummerbunds with flowing sash accented the princess line skirts with gather flare.
