Hong-Lowe Wedding

 In a double ring ceremony at Our Lady of the Peace cathedral, Miss Rita Ivy 
Lowe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney H. Lowe, became the bride of James

white satin designed with leg of mutton sleeves, V shaped neckline gathered 
yoke, tiny bound buttons from neckline to waist and a full skirt which fell

orange blossoms and net. She carried a spray of lady slipper and butterfly 
orchids. Her only jewelry was a pearl strand, a gift of the bridegroom.
 The attendants, Mrs. Mary D. Tam, matron of honor, Miss Ellen Lowe, maid of

bridegroom, were all dressed in white. Their gowns were fashioned with fitted 
bodices of moire and full taffeta skirts. They carried French boquets of 
ground orchids and wore brief net veils caught in place with matching flowers.
 Best man was Raymond Hong brother of the bridegroom, and ushers included 
Alfred Hong, another brother of the bridegroom, Henry H. Lowe, brother of the 
bride, and Timmy Lau.
 The bride's mother wore a navy blue dress with white accessories and an 
orchid corsage.
 The mother of the bridegroom was dressed in a Chinese gown of cut velvet
