The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Tibbett of Neillsville wore a floor length gown, fashioned of imported Chantilly lace and nylon tulle over net and slipper satin.  The short sleeves and V neckline were edged in hand-clipped scallops of lace which fashioned the bodice and alternate panels of the scalloped edged lace and tulle swept into a bouffant hoop skirt. A shoulder length veil of silk illusion fell from a tulle half-hat styled with a scalloped front outlined in seed pearls and iridescent sequins. The bride was given in marriage by her father. She carried a white orchid surrounded by white stephanotis and lily of the valley.
