Corbin, son of the Chester Corbins of Kentland, in an impressive double ring ceremony, Tuesday evening, Oct. 3rd, in the Methodist church. The Rev. Henry Braun read the marriage lines at 8:30 in the presence of relatives and guests. Baskets and vases of fall flowers decorated the chancel.Miss Margaret Bailey played the traditional wedding march, and preceding the ceremony, played "I love you truly" and "Because".
The bride chose a mist blue, two piece dressmaker suit, complimented with brown accessories and shoulder corsage of pink rosebuds. The maid of honor, a sister, Miss Ella Jean Heckel, wore a coral wool street-length dress with black accessories and a corsage of white button mums and lavender gladioli. Miss Lois Henderson, bridesmaid, was dressed in a pale green wool street dress and wore a corsage of peach gladioli.
Chester Corbin, Jr., brother of the bridesgroom, served as best man, and usher was Leslie Heckel, brother of the bride.
Mrs. Heckel wore a black dress, complimented by white, while Mrs. Corbin wore dark green. Both wore shoulder corsages of red rosebuds.
A reception at the Heckel home followed the ceremony and guests were served ice cream, cake, coffee, and salted nuts from a perfectly appointed table, centered with the bride's cake and an arrangement of fall flowers.
