      PETERSON-BICONDOA WEDDING JANUARY 28TH

      Two prominent families of Surprise Valley were united January 28th when Nancy Peterson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Granville Peterson of Fort Bidwell became the bride of Joe Bicondoa, Jr. son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bicondoa of Eagleville.

      The 2 o'clock ceremony was performed in the Sacred Heart church of Alturas by Father Ignatius Estes in the presence of immediate relatives and personal friends of the young couple.

      The bride was accompanied to the altar by her father who gave her hand in marriage. Attending her as maid of honor was Carmen Bicondoa, sister of the groom and Marcel Maria attended the groom as best man.

      Nancy was a lovely bride in her waltz length gown of white alencon type lace over net with wrist length sleeves and round neck line. Her shouder length veil was attached to a coronet of seed pearls and she carried a bouquet of white orchids in ivory rose buds.

      At the end of the marriage ritual Father Estes handed the couple on heirloom coin which he had blessed for the occasion. The quaint custom originated in France and this coin was given to Nancy's great-grandmother Delmas at her marriage in France in 1872. In turn it was given to Nancy's grandmother Mrs. Charles Decious by her husband in 1903 and to Nancy's mother Mrs. Granville Peterson at her wedding in 1929. The coin is blessed by the attending priest who hands it to the groom then he hands it in turn to his bride, as a token of prosperous and good life together.

      Following the service the bridal party accepted congratulations at a reception in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Decious of Alturas.
      For her going away costume the bride wore a strawberry pink suit with matching feather hat and black patent accessories. The honeymoon was spent at Lake Tahoe, Squaw Valley and Reno. They will make their home in Eagleville where Joe is employed on his father's ranch."
