The bride, a lovely brunette, was attired in a gown of aqua, with white accessories. She wore a corsage of pink roses and carried a prayer book with shower of sweetheart roses. For something old and borrowed she wore a string of seed pearls belonging to the mother of the groom.

She is a graduate of Los Cruces High School and attended New Mexico State College at Las Cruces where she pledged Zeta Tau sorority.

He is a graduate of Deming High School where he was active in athletics, and later attended the University of Arizona at Tucson and the New Mexico State College. He is a member of Alpha Tau Omega and holds a commission of Second Lieutenant in the R. O. T. C.

Following a wedding breakfast at the Murray Hotel the happy couple left for a honeymoon trip to northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. While in Colorado they will visit Mr. and Mrs. Cooper Shapley, Jr., of Salida.
