and Edward Still and Charles Ruple were the ushers.
Preceding the ceremony Mrs. William Schopen played a pro-
gram of bridal music including “To a Wild Rose,” “Adoration,”
“O Perfect Love,” and “Because.” The mass was sung by mem-
bers of the men’s choir and Miss Barbara Martin sang “Ave
Maria” at the offertory and “Mother, At Your Feet I’m Kneeling,”
as the bride placed her bouquet on the altar of the Blessed
Mother.

crepe, accented with a pink hat. Her shoulder flowers were
