Only Very Best Friends
Have Been Assembled
in the Bridal Party

The personnel of the bridal party is
interesting because it brought to the
side of the young couple on the happi-
est day of their lives, their very best
friends. No official glamour accom-
panies any of their names and only
the deep affection surrounding the
| memory of their college days together
or their mutual tastes in life pursuits
gave reason for their selection.
