The procession to the flower banked
altar was quite in contrast to for
NAL American wedding, the bride and
bridegroom walking to the altar arm

escorted by an usher. Then came
the brides father, Ambassador Luther,
with Frau Won Raeften. mother Of the
bridegroom, and then Prof. and Frau

Upon reaching the chancel the
brides father, the bridegroom's mother
and Prof and Frau Koerner and the
children in the wedding party took
seats in the front pews, while the
bridesmaids and ushers stood on either
side of the chancel. After the cere-

dropping rose petals in the path of
the couple.

a gown of white satin, designed on
princess lines with v neckline and
