The bride wore a gown of satin bodice with sweetheart neckline and a full net skirt which went into a long train.

The matron of honor was her sister, Mrs. Daniel Howe, of Duluth, gowned in autumn rose crepe with shirred bodice and full skirt trimmed with lace. She carried a bouquet of pink and white carnations and wore pearl earrings, gift of the bride. Her other attendants were Phyllis Wenzel, sister of the groom, and Lorraine Ess, friend of the couple. They wore identical dresses of blue and old rose taffeta, shirred bodice and full skirt, and carried bouquets of yellow pom poms tied with blue and pink ribbon and wore pearl earrings, gift of the bride.
The groom wore his army uniform and was attended by Jim Lubansky and Richard Heinisch, of Chaska, and Daniel Howe, of Duluth. They wore dark suits with white carnation boutonnieres.
The bride's and groom's mothers wore dark dresses and had a corsage of red carnations and white pom poms.
