The ceremony was performed recently in St. Martin church. The bride wore a white satin gown trimmed with seed pearls and lace. Her long veil fell from an orange blossom tiara and she carried a colonial bouquet of roses and chrysanthemums. Charlotte Hochertz, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. Her gown was of pink taffeta. Another sister, Magdalen, wore blue taffeta and both had blushers with plumes to match their dresses. They carried colonial bouquets of yellow and white chrysanthemums. James Cloutier was best man and Edward Hochertz, brother of the bride, was groomsman.
