Couple united in fall nuptials

Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Austin

     The Reverend Sandy Ball performed the double-ring ceremony. Original plans were to have an outdoor ceremony at Chang-Hu Park, but the rainy weather forced the ceremony inside at the Gowanda VFW. However, beautiful pictures were taken at the park in between raindrops.

     The bride is the daughter of Ray and Suzy Bogue of Dayton. The groom is the son of Pamela Husle and stepson of Jim Husle of Buffalo.

     The bride wore a sleeveless dress with a lace and beaded bodice. A full attached train was adorned with lace appliques and more beading on a tulle overlay.

     Heather Rogers, best friend of the bride, was maid of honor. Bridesmaids included Lisa Gernatt, Lindsay Rebmann, friends of the bride, as well as Ashli Ondus, cousin of the bride.

     Mike Malinowski, best friend of the groom, was best man. Ushers included friends of the groom Jason Chupa, Mike Trysnicki, brother of the groom Corey Austin, and brother of the bride Richard Bogue.

     There were two flower girls, Rylan Kota and Payton Kota, nieces of the bride. The ring bearer was Jordan Kota, nephew of the bride.

     The bride and groom are both graduates of Gowanda Central School. The bride will be attending college at Coastal Carolina Community College. The groom is currently a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps stationed at Camp Lejuene in North Carolina.

     The couple honeymooned in Niagara Falls, Canada and now make their home in Jacksonville, NC.
