Schmidt, Charlotte Ann (Marriage - 17 June 1972)

Miss Charlotte Ann Schmidt and Frank Oldham were married Saturday, June 17, in a 1p.m. nuptial mass performed at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, Loyal, by the Very Rev. Norbert E. King. A reception was held at Bali Hai Supper Club. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Ed J. Schmidt of Rt.2 Loyal, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Oldham of Rt. 2 Neillsville.

Given in marriage by her parents, the bride wore a white A-line gown of imported organza and venise lace over taffeta styled with long, puffed sleeves and a detachable Watteau train. Her veil fell from a headpiece of crystal and pearl trimmed Venise lace. A bouquet of a white Cattelya orchid nested in pink rosebuds and white baby’s breath was accented with white satin streamers.

Mrs. Andrew Lindner, Muskego, was the matron-of-honor. Bridesmaids were Miss Sheila Bauer, Marshfield, Miss Darlene Hederer, Unity, and Miss Pat Lewin, Marshfield. The attendants’ gowns of violet voile were fashioned with Empire waistlines. Matching voile bow headpieces and small, white wicker baskets filled with white and violet daisies and baby’s breath completed their ensembles.

Kenny Oldham, Neillsville, acted as bestman. Groomsmen were Eugene Schmidt and Ronald Schmidt, Loyal and Ronald Oldham, Neillsville. Guests were seated by Robert Schmidt, Loyal, and Donald Oldham, Neillsville.

Jodi Ann Lindner, Muskego, as the miniature bride, wore a gown identical to that of the bride. Jeff Kluckhohn, Neillsville, was the ringbearer.

Guitar music was played by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Denk, Jeff and Gordon Denk, Bill Denk, Mrs. Sharon Schoonover and Mrs. Diane Anderegg.

The bride, a 1969 graduate of the Loyal High School, is employed in Spencer. The groom, who graduated from Neillsville High School in 1968, is employed in Neillsville.

Following their return from a wedding trip to the western states, the couple will live in Spencer.
