Emanuel's Lutheran Church was the scene of a beautiful wedding Saturday evening at eight thirty o'clock when Miss Jane Weinert, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hilmar Herman Weinert, became the bride of Roland Krezdorn Blumberg, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Charles Blumberg, the Rev. T. M. Janssen reading the impressive double ring ceremony.
    The alter was banked with call lilies and fern in ivory pottery bowls.  On either side of the chancel entrance were floor baskets filled with call lilies.   Woodwardia ferns alternating with cathedral tapers in ivory standards formed a background from the altar to the chancel steps.  The candlelight cast a soft glow over the scene and provided the only illumination during the plighting of the troth.  Mrs. T. M.  Janssen, organist, played a program of nuptial music, "Chant D'Amour" by Gillette, "Prayer Perfect" by Stenson, "Nocturne" by Chopin, "Prayer" by Weber, while the guests assembled.  Prior to the ceremony Edwin Lassberg of Austin played "Ave Maria" by Schubert, Mrs. Janssen, Accompanist.  The organist played "Chant D'Amour" by S. Tudor Strang as a precessional for the ushers and the bridal  chorus from "Lohengrin" heralded the entrance of the bride's attendants.

Koch, Jr. of Austin, Rodger Vaughan, of Seguin, Rapler Dawson and Dr. Ralph Letteer of San Antonio, Dr. Lucian LaCoste of Texas University, Austin, were the ushers who, walking in pairs, proceded the bridesmaids advancing to the altar singly.
    Miss Johnnie Jean Weinert of Seguin and Miss Mary Wheeless of Houston, Junior bridesmaids, wore frocks of white chiffon fashioned with heart-shaped necklines, full bodices with long, full sleeves, and bouffant skirts.  Their  Juliet caps were of white silk raille petals.
