the vows for the double-ring
ceremony.

Love" and "The Lord's Prayer."
Parents of the couple are Mr. and
Mrs. T.J Kallsen of Nacogdoches

To background music of "Trum-
pet Tune in D Major," her father
escorted the bride to the altar
where he and her mother gave her
in marriage. The bride chose a
formal gown of candlelight organ-
za. Molded with Venise lace and
seed pearls, the bodice featured a
Queen Anne neckline, bishop
sleeves, and fitted waistline. The
full skirt was designéd with a Chan-
tilly lace border that «wept to a
chapel train. Silk flowers and Schif-
fli and Venise laces embellished the
bride's beaded hat which was
enhanced with heirloom illusion
veiling worn by her grandmother,
Caroline Stordahl, and her mother
on their wedding days.
Her bouquet, fashioned of bridal
white roses, stephanotis, and
English ivy, was accented with
candlelight lace ribbon, tied in love
knots, which held the wedding rings
of the bride's maternal great-

paternal grandmother. She also
carried lace handkerchiefs

sister's matron of honor.
Bridesmaids were Shana Pate,

The hue of candlelight was
repeated in the attendants' Vic-
torian lace blouses. Their ensem-
bles, a gift from the bride as a
mememto of the day, differed only
in the color of the slipper-length
skirts. These were in one of the
bride's chosen shades of sage blue
and dusty mauve, accented by a
sash of the contrasting color. Each
attendant carried a bouquet of blue
and mauve silk irises and white
fressia, with blue and mauve satin
ribbons trailing from the bouquet.
