Promises of marriage were exchanged on Saturday by Miss Yvonne Lois Zastrow and Cpl. Roland H. Launer. The 3 o'clock double-ring service was read by the Rev. Em. Malkow at St. Paul's Lutheran Church.

Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Zastrow, Route 1, Sheboygan, the bride was given in marriage by her father to the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Launer, 1629 Mehrtens Ave.

Attire of the bride was a white gabardine suit with which she had white accessories, including a hat made of lilies-of- the-valley. Three white orchids were attached to the white satin Bible which the bride held and baby orchids were secured to streamers. The Bible was a gift from the bridegroom.

As maid of honor for her sister, Miss Ruth Zastrow donned an aqua gabardine suit with pink and white details. Shaded carnations and stephanotis comprised her bouquet. The bridesmaid, Mrs. Alfred Rogerts Jr., was attired similarly.

A brother of the bride, Ronald Zastrow, was the best man and the role of groomsman was assumed by Alfred Rogers Jr. Those who served as ushers were Edward Zastrow and Clarence Launer, brothers of the principals.
