Tuesday afternoon, July 3, at 4 o'clock at St. Patrick's Parish House, Miss Geraldine Eldridge, daughter of Mrs. Josephine Eldridge, 402 Lincoln Avenue, became the bride of William Griffith Jaques, CM 1/C, son of Dr. and Mrs. H. E. Jaques of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. The Reverend Fr. Thomas P. Hayden performed the double-ring service. 

The bride wore a floor-length shell pink organdy dress trimmed with horizontal bands of maroon horsehair braid and wore a matching braid hat. She carried a colonial bouquet of white roses with shower streamers.  

She was attended by her cousins, Miss Jean Marie Nugent of Minneapolis and Miss Margaret Nugent of Eau Claire. They wore dresses of sea foam green moussleine de sole and shell pink chiffon, carried colonial bouquets, and wore headdresses of white flowers and pink veiling.

Sergeant Thomas McManamy was the best man.

The bride's mother wore a light blue and white flower print dress with a shoulder corsage of pink rosebuds. 

Following the ceremony, a reception for about 50 guests was held at the home of the bride's mother.

The bride, a graduate of St. Patrick's High School, has been employed in a secretarial capacity. The groom, student at Iowa State University, majoring in Architectural Engineering, has for the past two and one-half  years, been in the Seabees, having served 18 months overseas.

After spending a few days at the lake, the bridegroom returned to Brooklyn Navy Yards for assignment.
