Her fingertip veil was edged with matching lace and caught to a tiara of seed pearls and she was carrying a bouquet of Indianapolis white ‘mums.

Roma and Randy Grills, twin niece and nephew of the bride, were flower girl and ring bearer. The little girl’s dress was of green peau de soie with wide rust cummerbund coming to a large bow at back and she carried a basket of mixed autumn flowers.
