The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kent Beecher, 1015 S. Indiana Ave., and Mr. Larson is the son of Mrs. Gertrude Bryant, 1022 S. Indiana Ave.
Before the exchange of wedding vows, Charles Green of Marion sang "Because," "My Wonderful One" and "The Lord's Prayer" and Mrs. Robert L. Boyd, organist, played "Indian Love Call."
The bride's attendants were Mrs. Robert Allbaugh of Flora, matron Miss Betty Rudolph, Miss Barbara Beecher and Miss Joan Cornwell, bridesmaids, and Janelie Jeffrey, flower girl.
Robert McFall was best man for the bridegroom and Marion Hale, William Mosier, Georgia Smith Jr. and Gene McFall served as ushers.
The bride entered with her father who gave her in marriage. Her wedding gown of white satin was designed with a portrait neckline edged with lace and lace also formed a wide panel in the front of the skirt. The bride's court-length illusion veil was edged in lace and cascaded with a tiara of seed pearls. She carried a colonial bouquet of white carnations, centered by a purple-throated white orchid.
Mrs. Allbaugh's gown was of lavender sheer over matching taffeta and her flowers were a colonial bouquet of lavender and yellow carnations. The bridesmaid's gowns were of white sheet, two fashioned over yellow taffeta and the other two over lavender taffeta, all in formal length. They carried colonial bouquets of carnations.
The flower girl was dressed in ankle-length frock of yellow sheer and she carried a basket of red rose petals.
For her daughter's wedding, Mrs. Beecher wore lime green linen with white accessories. Mrs. Bryant wore a tan suit, complemented with white and yellow accessories. Each wore an orchid corsage.
The wedding reception was held in the parlors of the church where Mrs. Marion Hale, Mrs. David Arnett, Mrs. Brazier Beecher and Mrs. Kenneth Hutchens assisted in serving the guests.
The refreshment table was laid with a white organdy cloth, accented with lavender ribbon, and the centerpiece was the four-tier wedding cake, topped with bridal figurines and surrounded by huckleberry. Candelabra flanking the cake held yellow and lavender tapers.
The couple left for a brief trip, the bride leaving in a navy blue linen suit, pink accessories and the orchid from her bouquet.
