The marriage of Miss Dorothy Hoogland, of Catawba, and Marvin Burcaw of Milwaukee took place at the Sacred Heart Catholic church in Catawba at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 9. The Rev.

The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a floor length gown styled with a lace bodice, sleeves which came to a point over the wrists and a Queen Anne collar. Tiers of Chantilly lace and tulle over pleated satin formed the bouffant skirt. Her fingertip veil fell from a crown of pearls and sequins and she wore a single strand of pearls and earrings, a gift of the bridegroom. She carried a bouquet of pink roses and white carnations.
