The wedding was solemnized at 2:00 p.m. in St. John’s English Evangelical Lutheran Church, with the Rev. Edward R. Wicklund officiating.

Her matron of honor was a college friend, Mrs. Melvin Grancorbitz of Appleton. Donald A. Krider, of Madison, a college friend of the groom served as best man.

A reception was held for the immediate families and a few close friends immediately following the ceremony, at the home of the bride’s parents.
