    Getty-Hesse Vows in Lowman Church
    [Caption: Mrs. Frederick B. Hesse]
    In the Lowman Memorial Methodist Church, Saturday, August 9, Hazel Elizabeth Getty, Topeka, was married to Frederick Burns Hesse, Rossville. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Getty, Downs, and Mr. Hesse is a son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Hesse, Rossville.

    Dr. Ronald Terry officiated at 7:30 p.m. Elizabeth Long, organist, and Mrs. Joe Campbell, violinist, provided music.

    Chantilly lace and tulle over bridal satin fashioned the bride's gown, which was styled with a lace basque bodice and long tapered sleeves. The scalloped sabrina neckline was sprinkled with pearls and sequins. The voluminous skirt of tulle, worn over an underskirt of ruffled tiers, was fashioned with graduated appliquéd bands of lace forming points front and back with a wide flounce of tulle sweeping into an aisle-wide chapel train. A contour crown of pearls and sequins secured her silk illusion veil. Her bouquet was of white orchids and stephanotis on a white prayer book.

    The bride's sisters, Elaine Getty and Patricia Getty, were maid of honor and bridesmaid. Mrs. Darrel Stanton, Kansas City, was brides matron. The bride's brother and niece, Steven Getty, Downs, and Patria Jean Philipsen, Sacramento, lighted the candles, and another niece, Linda Philipsen, Sacramento, was flower girl.

    All the attendants wore ballerina-length two-toned blue chiffon dresses, fashioned with shirred Grecian bodices, scoop necklines, and small shirred sleeves. The bodices featured cummerbunds of deeper blue with half panels in back over harem hemlines. Their flowers were bouquets of white daisies.

    Best man was the bridegroom's brother, William Hesse, Rossville. Groomsmen and ushers were John Johnson, Topeka; Joe Conley, Delia, James Snyder, Silver Lake and Keith Sprouse, Topeka.

    The couple will honeymoon in Colorado and Yellowstone National Park and will be at home at 1175 Woodhull, in Topeka.

    Mrs. Hesse was graduated from Downs High School, attended Kansas University and Washburn University and now is employed by Blue Cross-Blue Shield in Topeka. Mr. Hesse is a graduate of Rossville High School, attended Washburn University where he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon social fraternity, and now is in business with his father in Rossville.
