I choose to remember beautiful Margie:
Miss Margaret Louise Sulzen became the bride of Mr Gerald Denk on May 30, 1961. The bride wore gown of chantilly lace over tulle satin with a sweetheart neckline, a voluminous full shirt & expanding train. Her veil was a crystal tiara & bouquet was white rosebuds, orchids, & stephanotis. Bridesmaids wore lavender silk organza gowns & carried lavender bouquets. Her sister Deborah was flower girl & brother Richard ring bearer. I too, remember their first dance at the reception. She was the prettiest girl we had ever seen. Lavonne Budd Stockdale
