Ushers were Bill Conley and James Conley, brothers of the bride, Alan Cunningham, John McCormick, Silver Lake, and Greg Marney, Rossville. They wore tuxedoes identical to the groomsmen and red rose buttonnieres.

Miss Lesa Martinek, sister of the groom, was in charge of the guest book. Her gown was of a rose print in chiffon and taffeta, tied at the waist with a red velvet bow. Her corsage was stephanotis and baby’s breath.

The ceremony began with a reading written by Kenneth and Patricia, and with Bible quotations from Corinthians, given by James Conley, brother of the bride.

The bride’s mother chose a floor-length gown of jade green, with full sleeves and a circular skirt.
