SIGOURNEY-- Miss Colleen Steigleder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ward Flanegan, and Robert J. Hahn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Hahn, all of Sigourney, were married Thursday morning in a ceremony performed by the Rev. John A. McLaughlin at the Sigourney Christian church.

Baskets of white pompons and pink roses decorated the altar and palms provided the background. Mrs. Gene Butler was organist and Mrs. William Schwenke was soloist.

The bride wore a gown of white nylon with a hand-painted silver leaf design. It was fashioned with a flared skirt worn over taffeta and a bolero jacket with a peter pan collar and three-quarter length sleeves.

Her shoulder-length veil was caught to a tiara trimmed with sequins and seed pearls and she carried a cluster of pink rosebuds and lilies of the valley.

Miss Ardith Meeks, wearing a waltz-length gown of pale blue nylon, was maid of honor. She wore a matching stole and head-dress and her bouquet was of white roses.

Rex Hollingsworth was best man and ushers were Darrell Conner and Jack Flanegin. Miss Nancy Ulin held the guest book.

A wedding dinner was served at the home of the bride's parents. When the couple left on a wedding trip, the bride wore a turquoise knit suit with brown accessories.

They will live in Sigourney, where Mrs. Hahn operates a beauty salon and Mr. Hahn is employed by Wemer Motors.
