The Rev. Aloysius Madic officiated before an altar decorated with bouquets of pink roses and baskets of apple blossoms.  Mrs. Ruzic played and the church choir san "On this Day, O Beautiful Mother."

The bride was given in marriage by her father.  She wore a floor-length gown of Chantilly lace with long lace sleeves and a scalloped neckline trimmed with sequins.  The skirt of lace and net tiers ended in a chapel train and her fingertip veil was held by a crown.  She carried a colonial bouquet of purple orchids and stephanotis.
