The church was filled with guests long before the arrival of the bridal couple, and the bride presented a charming appearance in a gown of white crepe de chene over white silk, with trimmings of rare old French lace. She carried a beautiful bouquet of bride roses and was attended by her father, George H. Gaudreau who gave her away.
