OCEAN CITY - Atlantic Methodist Church here, decorated with 
palms and baskets of white flowers, was the setting for the
wedding of Miss Kaaren Lynch of Ocean City and Edward William
Coogan Jr. of Gladwyne, Pa.

The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Clara F. Lynch and William
H. Lynch, both of here.  Mr. Coogan's parents are Mr. and Mrs.
E. W. Coogan Sr., Gladwyne.

The Rev. Daniel Rich performed the double - ring ceremony 
Aug. 6 at 2 p.m.

A reception was held in the Ship Cafe.

Escorted by her father, the bride was attired in a floor-length
gown of white imported linen fashioned in a bell silhouette.  A
wide band of Venice lace accented the Empire waistline and the
cape-let sleeves and was also used to trim the detachable chapel
length train held at the waist with a self bow.  Venice lace
outlined her mantilla of French tulle.  The bridal bouquet was
of white shattered carnations surrounded by daisies and 
stephanotis.

MISS SHARON LYNCH was the maid of honor for her sister.  Her
floor-length Venetian blue gown was of imported Irish linen and
was in the slim silhouette design.  The bodice had a scooped
neckline and high-rising waistline with sculptured Venice lace
encircling the waist and the sleeves.  A large self bow added
back interest.  She wore a matching linen bow with a circular
veil and carried a bouquet of blue daisies.

The bridesmaids were Mrs. Bonnie G. Wainwright and Mrs. Susan
S. Parker, both of Berlin.  Their gowns were identical to the
maid of honor's except in a lighter blue mist shade and they
carried similar bouquets.

Stephen Lee Coogan, Gladwyne, was the best man for his brother.
Ushering were Robert Parker, Berlin, and Richard McCleary.

After a trip through the Poconos in Pennsylvania, the couple 
will live in Philadelphia.  The bridegroom is stationed near
Philadelphia with the Army.

Mrs. Coogan was graduated from the Charles Ellis School for
Girls, Newton Square, Pa., and also attended the University
of Maryland.  Her husband is an alumnus of Fort Union, Va.,
Military Academy and attended the University of Richmond in
Virginia.
