The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a floor length gown of white silk bridal lace over satin with full bouffant skirt set on a fitted bodice having a sweetheart neckline and long close fitting sleeves ending in a point over the hand. Her two-tiered fingertip veil of bridal illusion was edged in lace matching her dress and was held in place by a rhinestone studded cornet. She carried a colonial bouquet of white bride's roses and white carnations. Miss Elizabeth Menke attended her sister as maid-of-honor. She wore peach taffeta frock styled with a full skirt and bustle back. The bodice was tight fitting with short bouffant sleeves. She sore a Mary Queens of Scots hat of taffeta and net matching her frock and carried a colonial bouquet of pink and blue carnations with short streamers of pale blue ribbon. Miss Marion Schuller, the groom's sister, of Faribault, Minn., served as bridesmaid. Her gown of soft rose colored taffeta had a full skirt and short quilted bolero with short puffed sleeves and rounded neck line. Her Mary Queen of Scots hat of taffeta and net also matched her gown and her colonial bouquet of pink and blue carnations matched the maid-of-honor, also ending in short blue streamers. Lois Dumpert, cousin of the bride, in a floor length white satin dress, a miniature hat of satin and net, styled the same as the bridesmaids and carrying a nosegay of pink carnations, was the flower girl, Wayne Barkmeier, also a cousin of the bride, in a white tailored suit with a black bow tie, carried the rings on a white satin pillow. Charles Mooberry of Lincoln attended the groom as best man and Frank Tieso of Exeter served as usher. Both are brothers-in-law of the bride. The bride's mother wore an afternoon gown of teal blue and her corsage was of pink and white carnations. The groom and his attendants wore suits of blue, grey blue and grey and all wore white carnations in their lapels. Following the ceremony, a wedding breakfast prepared by Mrs. William Dumpert of Exeter, Mrs. Jack Leininger of York and Mrs. Harold Dudgeon of Lincoln, cousin and aunts of the bride, was served to the immediate families, godparents and Rev. Antochowski as guest, at the home of the bride's parents. The tables had centerpieces of white and pink carnations, sweetpeas and ferns in crystal bowls flanked on either side by crystal candelabra with pink tapers. A large three-tiered wedding cake, with miniature bride and groom standing before a white wedding bell, was used in the center of the table with crystal bowls of flowers and pink candles in crystal candelabra arranged on both side, making a pretty arrangement. Mrs. Charles Mooberry and Mrs. Frank Tieso had charge of the dinning room, with Mrs. Tieso pouring. The bride and groom cut the first piece of wedding cake. Each guest received a souvenir of the cake on leaving. Mrs. Moobery had charge of the gift-table and Elizabeth Menke the guest book.
