Mrs. James Combs was the matron of honor, her ensemble featuring a brown checked suit and brown accessories. She wore a corsage of gardenias.
James Combs attended his brother as best man.

Following the rites a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents. Mrs. John Taylor and Mrs. Clark Brownell presided at the lace covered refreshment table where roses and lighted tapers encircled the wedding cake and bouquets of roses and carnations decorated the home.
