    Tholl-Moylan Vows Exchanged

    Before a setting of white pompons and coral gladioli, Miss Mary Liddle Tholl and Mr. Jerry Joseph Moylan were united in marriage Saturday, April 12, at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Rossville. The Rev. Michael J. Gillgannon, cousin of the groom, performed the double ring ceremony. Tommy and Mike Gillgannon, cousins of the groom were acolytes. Miss Tholl is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene F. Tholl, Rossville, and Mr. Moylan is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel J. Moylan, Emmett.

    Miss Judie Moylan, sister of the groom, was organist and accompanied Miss Mary Janet McNeive who sang.

    Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a floor-length gown of imported chantilly lace and nylon tulle. The slender bodice of lace was fashioned with a sabrina neckline and long tapering sleeves. The very full skirt was designed with alternating tiers of lace and finely pleated tulle to form the front panel. The back panel of lace was edged with a wide ruffle of pleated tulle which formed the aisle-wide train. Her two-tiered veil of pure silk illusion was held by a coronet of seed pearls. She carried a cascade bouquet of lilies of the valley and stephanotis centered with a white orchid. Her only jewelry was a pair of pearl earrings, a gift of the bridegroom.

    Miss Betty Tholl, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. She wore a balerina-length gown of matching lace and faille in emerald green. Her fitted bodice of lace was fashioned with a scoop neckline in front and a deep V in the back and tiny cap sleeves. The lowered torso accented the very full skirt of faille. Her headpiece was white and she also wore white gloves. She carried a cascade bouquet of white pompons and coral gladilous petals.

    The bridesmaids were Misses Marilyn Moylan, Mary Eileen Moylan, sisters of the groom, and Miss Jeanette Nadeau. They wore identical gowns in coral lace and faille. Their headpieces and gloves were the same as that of the maid of honor. They also carried cascade bouquets of white pompons and coral gladiolus petals.

    Flower girl was Kay Vande Woestyne, cousin of the bride. She wore a dress styled the same as the maid of honor in white lace over emerald green faille. She also wore a white headpiece and white gloves.

    Steven Prochaska was ring bearer.

    Mr. Pat Moylan served his brother as best man. Groomsmen were Mr. John Martin, Mr. Jim Rezac, and Mr. John Clark.

    Ushers were Mr. Ted McNeive and Mr. Richard Rafferty.

    A reception immediately following the ceremony was held at the Rossville Community Center. The table was laid with a white linen cloth and centered with white pompons, coral gladioli, and three burning tapers. Mrs. Kenneth Cowan, aunt of the bride, cut the four-tiered cake. Mrs. LaVerne Spears poured the punch, with Mrs. Ronald McClone and Miss Joan Weber assisting.

    Miss Barbara Gentry was in charge of the guest book. Mrs. Leland Kimball and Miss Carol Jean Morford had charge of the gift table.

    The bride chose for traveling a gray tweed suit, with black and white accessories, and a white orchid corsage. After a trip through the South the couple will make their home in St. Marys.

    Mrs. Moylan is a 1955 graduate of Rossville High School, and is employed by Blue Cross-Blue Shield in Topeka.

    Mr. Moylan is a 1956 graduate of Emmett High School, and presently is engaged in farming at Emmett.
