Local Couple Are Married In Cathedral
	
  In a lovely double-ring ceremony in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament on 
Saturday, June 12, at 10 o'clock Mary Winifred Graupensperger, daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. John W. Graupensperger of 1507 Eighteenth avenue, and Regis W. Ball, 
son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Ball of 525 Third avenue were united in marriage 
by the Rev. Father I. J. Denny.
  The bride, given in marriage by her father, was charming in a gown of ivory 
satin with a sweetheart neckline edged with tiny seed pearls and chantilly lace, 
fitted bodice, long fitted sleeves which tapered at the wrist and a full skirt 
with insets of chantilly lace in the long train. Her fingertip veil of illusion 
and chantilly lace fell from a tiara of seed pearls. She carried a white 
prayerbook showered with white rose buds and streamers of white satin and sweet 
peas.
  The bride was attended by her sister, Dorothy, attired in a gown of light blue 
sheer and a matching shoulder-length veil falling from a braided tiara of net. 
The bridesmaid carried a nosegay of red rose buds and feverfew.
  The bridegroom's best man was his twin brother, Robert F. Ball. The mother of 
the bridegroom selected white print with white accessories and a corsage of red 
rose buds. The bride's mother chose light blue print with black accessories and 
a corsage of pink rose buds. The bride's grandmother, Mrs. Winifred Bender, was 
attired in a dress of light blue with black accessories and a corsage of pink 
rose buds.
  Robert B. Graupensperger, brother of the bride, and Joseph H. Stephens served 
as ushers. The wedding breakfast was served in the Lincoln room of the Penn Alto 
hotel immediately following the ceremony, and a reception was held in the 
evening at the home of the bride. The couple left for a honeymoon in Atlantic 
city.
  The bride is a graduate of Mt. Aloysius academy, Cresson, and the groom is a 
graduate of the Altoona High school and a veteran of the European and Pacific 
areas in World war II.
