Miss Stearns And Mr. Cramer Wed In League

Dr. Brashares Reads Service; Couple Take Cottage At Saugatuck

Patricia Maye Stearns, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry LaFayette Stearns of Packard St., and Harold Robert Cramer, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Cramer of Fort Ann, N. Y., were united in marriage at 2:30 yesterday at an informal ceremony held in the Michigan League chapel. Dr. Charles W. Brashares of the First Methodist Church read the service.

The couple spoke their wedding vows before an altar banked with snowballs and tiger lilies and footed with sprays of pale pink peonies and gladioli. About 75 guests were present at the ceremony and also the reception held in the Grand Rapids room following the wedding.

The white chiffon dress of street length worn by Miss Stearns had a long fitted torso of lattice-worked silk, draped bodice with narrow, deep v-neck and full bishop sleeves gathered at the wrist. With this she wore white linen sandals and a small square-crowned linen hat with veiling and perky round pompons in front. She carried a colonial bouquet of white flowers.
