Nuptial vows were exchanged in a double ring ceremony Saturday that united in marriage Miss Betty Kay Schlinsog of Rt. 2 Granton, and Robert Charles Scheel of Rt. 1 Neillsville. The Rev.

The neckline of the fitted bodice featured a scalloped Sabrina neckline. The full skirt was enhanced by a wide, ruffled chapel train attached at the shoulders. A bouffant illusion veil was secured to a crown of pearls, accented with aurora borealis crystal. She carried a bouquet of white gladioli.

Mrs. Larry Scheel of West Allis was her matron-of-honor. Bridesmaid was Miss Linda Hiles of Rt. 2 Granton. They wore aqua floor-length Empire coat style formals with lace bodices and slim skirts of chiffon overskirts and enhanced taffeta underskirts. Each carried blue and white chrysanthemums with white gladioli, tied with aqua ribbon.
