    GIVEN IN marriage by her father, the bride wore a gown of peau de soie satin designed with a shallow scoop neckline and bridal point sleeves. The skirt, fashioned with a front panel, trimmed with motifs of lace and seed pearls, had side and back fullness and extended into an aisle-wide chapel train.

    Her bouffant veil was held by a crown of seed pearls, accented by three teardrop pearls. She carried a cascade of white orchids, stephanotis and fern.

    Mary Ann DeDonder attended her sister as maid of honor and bridesmaids were Loretta Vail and Karleen Lenherr, Kansas City. They wore street-length dresses designed with scoop necklines, elbow-length sleeves and bell-shaped skirts. Miss DeDonder’s dress was gold; Miss Vail’s, bronze; and Miss Lenherr’s, green.

    KATHY DEVADER was flower girl. She wore a dress of green peau de soie satin. All of the attendants wore headdresses of small self-fabric bows with short veils. They carried colonial bouquets of bronze pompons centered with yellow pompons.

    A RECEPTION at the church hall followed the ceremony. Assisting were Mrs. Henry DeVader, Mrs. Arol Janssen and Mrs. Don Bobb, sisters of the bridegroom; and Kay Keefe, Margaret Mees and Nickie Helfert, Kansas City.
