Rev. Wallace M. Alston, pastor of the church, read the ceremony in a setting of gladioli and other spring flowers, lighted by tapers in standing candelabra. Mrs. Gladys T. Hover, organist, played "Ave Maria," by Schubert, and Saint-Saens' "Meditation" from "Thais" before the service. The traditional wedding

The bride wore a costume suit of powder blue wool with a white organdy blouse and a brown turban trimmed with veiling. Brown accessories and a corsage of pink camellias completed her ensemble.
Her only attendant, Miss Mary Shears, wore a two piece yellow wool suit, a matching felt turban and brown accessories. Her flowers were Johanna Hill roses and cornflowers in a shoulder bouquet.
