    August Ceremony Unites Mary
    Murray and Joe Eichman
    The marriage of Mary Catherine Murray and Joseph Stephen Eichman was solemnized at a nuptial mass Saturday, August 4, at noon.

    Parents of the couple are Mrs. Gerald H. Murray, Garden City, and Mrs. Loren Miller, Topeka, and the late A. J. “Bud” Eichman.

    The double-ring vows were recited in the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in St. Marys. Candelabra decorated with pink and white carnations, baby’s breath, greenery and white bows flanked the altar. Pink bows and white bells marked the pews. Father Tom Hasenkamp officiated. John Smithson was the lector.

    Organist for the ceremony was Ginny McNieve, Emmett. Soloist was Mrs. George Verschelden, St. Marys. She sang “More”, and “One Hand, One Heart” while the bride and groom lighted the memory candle.

    The bride was escorted by her brother, Robert A. Murray, Topeka. As they approached the altar, she stopped and gave her mother a pink rose. She gave one to the groom’s mother at the close of the ceremony.

    The bride chose an eyelet embroidered silk organza gown. The gown was trimmed with lace and accented with pink. It featured full bouffant sleeves. The skirt flowed into a full chapel-length train.

    Her headpiece was of matching eyelet embroidered organza with cascades of pink roses. She carried a colonial bouquet of pink roses and baby’s breath.

    Maid of honor was Ruth Klepac, Prairie Village. Peggy Sullivan, St. Marys, was the bridesmaid.

    The attendants wore floor-length gowns of sheer pink voile with white flocked flowers. They were styled with short puff sleeves and scoop necks. Each girl wore a pink picture hat and carried a single pink rose.

    James Keating, St. Marys, was the best man, and James Chaney, Emporia, was the groomsman.

    Ushers for the ceremony were Robert A. Murray, Topeka, brother of the bride, John Dixon, Marysville, cousin of the groom, and John Smithson, St. Marys.

    The bride’s mother was attired in a gold nylon and polyester floor-length shirtwaist dress. She wore a corsage of tea roses. Mother of the groom wore a floor-length gown of polyester, featuring a white skirt with a navy and green bodice. Her corsage was of pink roses.

    The reception table was centered with a three-tiered cake decorated with pink roses and topped with a miniature bride and groom which were used at the bride’s parents wedding.

    Those assisting with the reception were Pam and Sandy Eichman, sisters of the groom, Mrs. Albert Wells, Hutchinson, and Nancy Staab and Linda Staab, cousins of the bride. Mrs. Michael Redding, Emporia, sister of the groom, attended the guest book.

    The bride attended Garden City Community Junior College and is a graduate of Kansas State University, Manhattan. She is a kindergarten teacher.

    The groom, who attended Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, is employed by Keating Electric in St. Marys.

    The couple took a wedding trip to Kansas City. They are at home in St. Marys.
