    The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of white lace and tulle over satin, with hooped skirt. The bolero jacket was fashioned with long sleeves tapered at the hands. The veil of nylon net was held in place by a cloche of matching lace edged in pearls and rhinestones. She wore a single strand of pearls, gift from the groom and carried a colonial bouquet of white roses.

    Mrs. Joe Plantamura, cousin of the bride, was matron of honor and wore a ballerina length dress of seafoam green pure silk and net, fashioned with fitted bodice, full skirt and matching net stole and coronet. She carried a colonial bouquet of pink roses.

    Dr. James Brennan, brother of the groom, served as best man. The ushers were the grooms brother, Edward Brennan, and cousin, Robert McNieve of Topeka.

Mrs. Glenn Groves of Long Beach, California, Miss Mary Alice Passman and Mrs. John Olson, Topeka, assisted with the serving. Miss Jeannine Mock, Sabetha, had charge of the guest book.

    Mrs. Brennan graduated from Rossville High School and St. Mary College, Xavier, where she received a Bachelor of Music Education Degree. Mr. Brennan graduated from Immaculate Conception High School at St. Marys and attended Creighton University and Rockhurst College.
