Pledge Vows
St. Ann’s Catholic Church
near Yoakum was the scene of
the marriage of Miss Margaret
Chilek, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Felix Chilek of Rt. 2, Shi-
ner; and Jim Frank Loos, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Loos of
Route 4, Yoakum, Saturday
morning, June 11 at 10 a.m.
The Rev. Father Edward J.
Jansky officiated at the double
ring ceremony and was cele-
brant of the Nuptial Mass that
followed. The altar was adorn-
ed with white gladioli and
greenery, reflected in the glow
of blessed candles in candel-
abra.
Mrs. J. W. Ely was organist.
The bride entered the church
with her father. She was lovely
in her ballerina-length wedding
dress of French lace, worn over
taffeta, with net ruffles at the
back of the skirt. Her headdress
was a crown of pearls from
which drifted a veil of import-
ed illusion, edged in French
lace. She carried a bridal bou-
quet of white carnations, cen-
tered with a white orchid.
For “something old” she wore
lace gloves, for “Something
new,” she wore the cultured
pearl necklace and earrings her
groom had given her. Some-
thing borrowed and blue were
also worn.
Honor attendants were Miss
Patricia Chilek, sister of the
bride and Paul Loos, a cousin
of the groom.
The maid of honor wore a
frock of celestial blue chiffon
and lace over taffeta. The skirt
featured a chiffon overskirt.
She wore a white hat and car-
ried a cluster of white carna-
tions with blue satin ribbons.
Mrs. Chilek attended her
daughter’s wedding in a frock
of pastel blue. The groom’s mo-
ther wore a frock of navy blue.
Immediately following the
ceremony, a wedding dinner
was served at Quast’s Restau-
rant for the bridal party, and
two immediate families.
When leaving for the honey-
moon trip the bride wore a
white lace dress, white acces-
sories and orchid corsage.
A graduate of St. Ludmila’s
Academy in Shiner with the
Class of ’58, the bride, who is
a LVN, was employed prior to
her marriage at Citizens Memo-
rial Hospital in Victoria.
Mr. Loos is a graduate of
Yoakum High School, Class of
’58 and is owner and operator
of a dairy farm.
The couple is now at home
at 318 E. Morris Street, Yoa-
kum.
