Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Metzger Jr.
Presbyterian Wedding
Before an altar decorated with vases of spring flowers, Miss Jane Elizabeth Heimel was united in marriage with Arthur Eugene Metzger, Jr. The vows were solemnized in an afternoon ceremony Sunday in the First United Presbyterian Church, Coudersport.
The Rev. Robert B. Merten officiated at the double-ring rite for the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Heimel of Coudersport and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Metzger of Tobyhanna.
Organist was Randall Halter who played special music selected by the bridal couple.
Escorted to the altar on the arm of her father, the bride wore a floor-length gown of white embroidered batiste fashioned in Victorian styling with a high neckline, long leg-o'-mutton, sleeves, a tiered skirt, and a purple lace cummerbund. She wore a purple satin hair bow trimmed with forget-me-nots and carried a Colonial bouquet of baby's breath, forget-me-nots, and daisies. Her white shoes featured purple laces.
Miss Susan Frederick, a friend of the bride, was the maid of honor and Miss Mary Heimel, a cousin of the bride, was her junior bridesmaid. They wore crepe gowns in a multi-colored floral print featuring stand-up collars, long, cuffed sleeves and sashed Empire waistline. Fastened to their hair bows were pink green, gold and purple streamers, and they carried baskets of pink daisies and purple statice.
For her daughter's wedding, Mrs. Heimel chose a toast-color knit dress and coat trimmed in bands of cream with matching accesories, and wore a Gemini rose corsage. Mrs. Metzger wore a pink knit dress with navy accessores and a pink rose corsage.
Best man was Jeffrey Gooch of Coudersport, a cousin of the bridegroom, and ushers were Paul Heimel, the bride's brother, and Jay Gooch, a cousin of the bridegroom, both of Coudersport.
A reception for about 150 guests was held in the church parlors following the ceremony, with women of the church serving as hostesses, after which the newly-weds left for a wedding trip to the Maryland coast.
Pre-nuptial parties included a shower given at the Frederick home by the bride's attendants, and a rehearsal dinner at Sam's Motel.
The bridegroom will be a senior this fall at St. Bonaventure University. Mrs. Metzger, a 1969 graduate of Coudersport Area High School, has studied at the Robert Packer School of Nursing and at the Behrend Campus of Pennsylvania State University.
BPW
Reports of projects completed during the past year were featured at the annual banquet meeting of the Coudersport Business and Professional Women, held at the Old Hickory Tavern Thursday night.
