A nuptial high mass was celebrated Thursday morning at 9:00 o’clock at St. Anthony’s Catholic church in Loyal, Wisconsin for Miss Evelyn Shefchik, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. J. Shefchik of Loyal, and Peter J. Beyerl, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Beyerl of Colby, Wis. She was given in marriage by her father and the pastor, Rev. Norbert King, officiated at the double ring ceremony.

The bride chose for her wedding gown white chiffon over satin. The French lace inserts in the skirt extended into the train and also trimmed the bodice. The finger-tip veil of imported silk illusion fell from a bonnet of Chantilly lace trimmed in pearl orange blossom clusters. She carried a shower bouquet of red roses and swansonia.

Mrs. Irene Braun of Loyal was her sister’s matron of honor. She wore an orchid taffeta dress accented with lace trimmed ruffle and cap sleeves and matching picture hat and gauntlets. She carried a cascade bouquet of red roses and yellow carnations. Miss Carole Slaby of Madison, a cousin of the bride, as bridesmaid, wore yellow taffeta designed like the matron of honor’s dress and matching picture hat and gauntlets.
