The flower girl was Kristina Ashwell. Mr. Frank Norris, Jr., father of the groom, served as best man. Groomsmen were Edgar Dede, brother of the bride, Daryl Cronk, Ralph Hurley and Tony Loftis, friends of the groom.

The bride, escorted by her father, wore a gown of satin and silk with beaded lace bodice and carried a cascade of white and pink roses.
