Young People Exchange Wedding Vows In Charming Garden Setting Afforded by Capilla de San Antonio Lighted by candles and garlanded with white blossoms, the garden altar of Capilla de San Antonio was a beautiful setting for the wedding rites Saturday evening at which Miss Dorothy Darlene DeVore, daughter of Mrs. Carl Clodt of this city and Russell DeVore of Los Angeles, plighted her troth to S. Sgt. Wilbert Loesch of AAFWCTC, Santa Ana, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Loesch of San Jose. A hundred or more guests assembled for the 8 o'clock rites held in the secluded garden chapel preceded by a short musical program with Mrs. Clara Faust at the organ. The love songs, "Because" and "Indian Love Call" selected by the young couple, were sung by Vera Jean Hilbers, after which Mrs. Faust played Lohenbrin's Wedding March as the bridal party moved to the altar. There the Rev. L. E. Elfert, pastor of Zion Lutheran church, was joined by S. Sgt. Loesch and his best man, Tch. Sgt. Lester Nelson, also of the West Coast Training Center. Miss DeVore, approaching the altar on the arm of her father by whom she was given in marriage, was a very lovely little brunette bride in her gown of beautifully draped white silk jersey. Her finger-tip veil of tulle was arranged in coronet fashion, and she carried gardenias ringed with white delphinium and showered with white sweet peas. She wore the pearls which were her father's gift, and observed other bridal traditions with an heirloom handkerchief, a bow of blue ribbon, etc. The flowery path to the altar was of rose petals scattered by two cunning flower girls, Karen Clodt, small cousin of the bride, and Susan Perry, niece of the bridegroom. They were dressed When the wedding party left the altar to the stirring strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, it was to form a receiving line in the adjoining garden, where Mr. and Mrs. Fred Loesch of San Jose, and Mr. and Mrs. Clodt joined the group. Both mothers wore corsage clusters of white gardenias with their pretty formal gowns. Refreshments were served from a lace-spread table where a tiered wedding cake with its soldier bridlegroom and his bride, was surrounded with flowers and candles. The newly-wedded pair cut the first slice of the cake, with Mrs. Otto Clodt and Mrs. Elton Sahr completing the process. It was served with iced fruit punch by the Misses Betty Clodt, Marian Clodt and Norma Troller. The young couple plan to establish a home in Santa Ana while Sgt. Loesch completes his training. He had his schooling in Chicago, and his bride graduated from Manual Arts high school, Los Angeles. Many of her schoolmates and other Los Angeles friends were here for the wedding. The senior Mr. and Mrs. Loesch and Mr. and Mrs. Murray Perry and their small daughter, have now returned to San Jose.
