Miss Arlene Ruth Hansen, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H
Hansen became the bride of Ralph
Anson Bolton Friday evening at
7:30 In Prospect Avenue Baptist
Church, Buffalo. The Rev. Clayton
E. Bacon officiated.
Given in marriage by her father,
the bride wore a gown of Chantlily
lace over white satin. A ruffle of
the lace outlined the portrait ne:k-
11m of the fitted bodice and the
full skirt was caught into a bustle
and formed a long circular train.
Her finger-tip veil of French illusion
was held to her coiffure by a
band of illusion with face-framing
clusters of orange blossoms. The
bridal bouquet was a cascade arrangement
of gardenias.
The maid of honor was Miss Sally
L. Munger and the bridesmaid were
Miss Margaret Kittinger Batson,
Miss Patricia A. Maxwell and Miss
Patricia A. Moore. They were
gowned alike in pink marquisette
fashioned with portrait necklines
edged with ruffles of the material
and trimmed with two bands ot
matching velvet ribbon. The bodices
of the dresses were fitted and
the full skirts were edged with a
dust ruffle trimmed with the same
ribbon. The attendants' Colonial
bouquets were of pink roses, blue
delphiniums and single blossoms of
lavender gladioli.
Russell W. Burnes was best man
and usher were Robert D. Phil-
lips of Cleveland, cousin of the
bridegroom; Peter S. Kern and
John P. Henrich. Pale blue crepe
with a corsage bouquet of garden-
ias was worn by the bride's moth-
er, while the bridegroom's mothr
selected a floral print dress with
which she wore a gardenia shoul-
der bouquet.
A reception was given in the

ler. For motoring through New

quet was of gardenias.
