Ott, Louise A. (28 DEC 1946)

St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Neillsville (Clark Co., Wis.), was the scene Saturday of the wedding of Miss Louis A. Ott, Neillsville, and Francis W. Kipp, Marshfield. The parents of the bride are Mr. and Mrs. George Keller of Neillsville, and the groom’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Kipp of Marshfield. The double ring ceremony was read at a 9 o’clock mass by the Rev. John Pritzl.

The bride chose for her marriage a gown of white with a blouse of white satin and a yoke of white net. The sleeves were long and ruffles fell over her wrists. The skirt was of net. Her veil was held in place with an orange blossom tiara. Pink and white carnations were her flowers and her only jewelry was a string of pearls, a gift of the groom.

Miss Betty Kipp, sister of the groom, was the maid of honor. Her gown was styled as the bride’s except that it was a pastel blue. The bridesmaids were Miss Ruth Kutsche, a friend of the bride, and Miss Leana Ott, Milwaukee, sister of the bride. The groom was attended by Henry Ott of Loyal, brother of the bride. The ushers were Edward Rychnovsky, Neillsville, friend of the bride and groom, and Harold Ploem, Marshfield, cousin of the groom.

A reception for about 25 guests was held at the home of the bride’s parents. The house was decorated with blue, white, pink and green streamers, and a large white bell hung over the bridal table on which was a large three-tier wedding cake with a miniature bride and groom as decorations.
