The bride was charmingly gowned in a dress of white satin with trimmings of lace, ribbon and rhinestones. The beauty of the costume was further enhanced by a bridal wreath and veil, as well as by her bouquet of bridal roses. Her sister Miss Lorna acted as her maid and she too appeared in beautiful white.
