The Rev. Frank Brickl officiated.

The bride looked lovely in a beautiful floor length white satin gown with Queen Ann collar, long sleeves and white satin slippers. Her Queen Ann veil with long train was held in place by queen Ann lace cap with sprays of buds on each side. Her bouquet consisted of pink roses ans white sweet peas.

The maid of honor, Elaine Johnson, sister of the bride, wore a floor length peach taffeta gown with wreath of blue cluster of flowers. The bridesmaid, Mrs. Wm. Springer of Athens, sister of the groom, wore a floor length Sheba blue gown with wreath of peach cluster of flowers. Both had shoulder length veils, short sleeves, low collars, silver slippers and wrist corsages of pink roses and sweet peas.

John Switlick, brother of the groom, acted as best man, and Wm. Springer, brother-in-law of the groom, was groomsman. All three wore dark blue suits.
