Mrs. Newton Barnes of Terrell attended the bride as matron of honor and the bridegroom's father acted as best man.

For her wedding, the bride wore a gown of champage Chantilly lace and chiffon. The fitted lace bodice was designed with a high round neckline and ledge sleeves with turn-back cuff detail. The ballerina-length skirt of chiffon and lace panels was gracefully flared. The bride wore a bonnet brim hat of champagne French shadow veiling and gloves of matching lace.
