The engagement of Robert Rumfelt and Miss Joy Biller was cleverly announced by a beautiful tame pigeon, which carried the message sealed in a tiny envelope tied around its neck with pink ribbon. Pink nut cups with hanging wedding bells also concealed the announcement. Games were played, and pink and white ice cream and angel food cake were served.
