A double ring ceremony was used in the exchange of marriage vows between Bruce Mittelstadt and Miss Charlotte Ellengerger, Saturday, June 22, at 6:30 p.m. at the First Methodist church at Ft. Wayne. 
 

The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a white, floor length gown of Chantilly lace over taffeta, designed with long sleeves and a scalloped scoop neckline. A crown of seed pearls and sequins held her finger tip veil. She carried a white Bible, topped by a lavender orchid, and wore a pearl necklace and earrings. 
 

The bride’s three attendants wore identically styled dresses. They wore street length dresses of nylon dotted Swiss over taffeta. A lavender band at the waist of the princess frocks formed a large bow in the back and ended in streamers. 
 

The matron of honor carried a bouquet of white carnations and pink roses while the bridesmaids carried pink and white carnations. 
 

The little flower girl also was attired like the honor attendant and carried a basket of pink petals. 
 

Alfred Mittelstadt, brother of the groom, was one of the ushers. 
 

The mother of the bride chose a navy blue dress while the mother of the groom had a light blue dress. Both had white accessories and a corsage of white carnations. 
 

Following the ceremony a reception for 200 guests was held in the church basement.
