PINCHER CREEK--St. Henry's Church, Twin Butte, on Saturday, at 9 a.m., was the scene of a quiet but unusually pretty wedding, when Helen, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Schrempp, became the bride of Mr. Francis August Hochstein, youngest son of Mrs. A. Hochstein and the late A. Hochstein of Pincher Creek. Rev. Father T. Kielly officiated.
Preceded by her bridesmaid and two flower girls, the bride entered the church on the arm of her father, who gave her in marriage. She was charming in a gown of white satin and her long veil of bridal illusion was held in place by a lace tiara. She carried a shower bouquet of deep pink roses.
The bridesmaid, Miss Mary McIntyre of Coleman, chose a floor length dress of pink triple sheer and chapel veil. She carried a sheaf of white carnations. The flower girls, Joleen Higginbotham and Patsy Halpin, nieces of the groom, were sweet in pale green organdy, carrying quaint colonial bouquets. Mr. Joe Schrempp supported the groom.
During the singing of the Nuptial Mass following the marriage ceremony, the hymns: On This Day, Oh Beautiful Mother and Panis Angelicus were also rendered. The church was artistically decorated with cut flowers and bows of ribbon marked the pews for the relatives.
A wedding dinner was held at the home of the bride's parents. The bride's table was centered by a three-tiered wedding cake, which was cut by the bride and groom. Several toasts were proposed to the bride which was replied to by the groom.
The bride changed to a travelling costume of queen's blue wool with turf tan accessories and the newlyweds left by car for Calgary and Banff where they will spend a short honeymoon. On their return they will reside in Medicine Hat. To and to the occasion, good wishes were received from the bride's brother, Sgt. Wilfred Schrempp, technician, serving with the Canadian Army in Australia.
The bride is a graduate of the Calgary Normal School, and has recently been employed in Ottawa. The groom is a graduate of Toronto University and was for a short time on the staff. He is now employed as chemist in the Department of National Defense.
