The ceremony took place at 8 p.m. at the Central Christian Church, Glendale.  More than 800 persons who filled the church to capacity appeared to see the suburban city's favorite son take the wedding vows.

Making it plain that his racing days are over, Wykoff explained that he is now going about the more serious business of providing for his wife, and that as soon as their honeymoon is over he will join the faculty of the Moran School for Boys at Atascadero, where he will coach in football and track.

Wykoff, who is 23 years of age , has been residing in Glendale at 617 Portola street.  His bride, on year younger, had been making her home at 1600 East Rock Glen, Glendale.  She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wade Richardson.
