MRS. GEORGE J. MUNRO
MISS VERA ROACH BECOMES BRIDE OF
GEORGE J. MUNRO SATURDAY, APRIL 4
St. Anthony's Catholic Church
was the scene of an impressive
ceremony Saturday, April 4, at 10
o'clock in the morning when Miss
Vera Roach, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Walter P. Roach, became the
bride of George J. Munro, son of
Mr. and Mrs. James Munro of El
Paso.
Rev. Anthony Costantino of Kar-
nes City and Rev. Tim Kinnally
of Bellaire officiated at the double
ring ceremony before an altar set-
ting of white gladioli and stock
flanked by candelabra, entwined
with fern, holding white tapered
candles.
Escorted to the altar by her
father the bride was lovely in an
original sheath gown of candle-
light white silk-faced peau de soie.
The fitted bodice was styled with a
round neckline. Appliqued flowers
•circled the short sleeves and the
slim skirt border. The skirt was
further enhanced by a full length
silk detachable train falling from
the waistline. Her headpiece was
a seed pearl encrusted pillbox
from which depended a frothy tulle
veil extending to the shoulders. Her
bouquet consisted of two white or-
chids with a cascade of white glad-
ioli and maiden hair fern with
showers of ribbon. A diamond chip
necklace was her only jewelry.
Mrs. Jack Ogden of Houston
was her sister's matron of honor.
Miss Janice Jones of Pasadena
was maid of honor and Miss Jean
Buchanan of Pasadena and Miss
Billie Sue Roach, sister of the
bride, were bridesmaids. Flower

Italian silk sheath with white ac-
cessories and a white mum cor-
sage.
Following the wedding a recep-
tion was held at the Palacios Com-
munity Center. A large basket of
white gladioli and stock was placed
at one side of the table. The bride's
table, covered with a light blue net
cloth, held a three-tiered wedding
cake and decorations of white glad-
ioli and blue mums. Two candela-
