Hosts for the event were the couple's sons and their spouses, Scott and Sheila Firm and Douglas and Melissa Firm, all of Campbell, and Tim and Cathy Firm of Fort Smith, Ark. There are seven grandchildren in the family.
Richmond Methodist Church was the setting June 9, 1956, as the former Arline Norris and Kenneth Firm were united in marriage.
