The Olivet Congregational parsonage at Columbus was the scene of a wedding Tuesday, April 29, 1947, when Mrs. Delores Reshel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Meier of Neillsville (Clark Co., Wis.), became the bride of Michael Marcinka of Columbus. The single ring ceremony was performed at 2:30 p.m. by the Rev. Leslie G. Deinstadt in the presence of a few relatives and friends.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a gown of pale blue ribbed chiffon, designed with a sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice, full skirt and three-quarter length sleeves. Her matching shoulder length veil fell from a tiara of flowers. She also wore a gold locket, a gift of the groom. She carried a shower bouquet of red roses, sweet peas and feverfew, tied with satin ribbon.

Mrs. Kurt Schoenherr, sister of the bride, and Miss Jean Peters, friend of the bride, were bridesmaids.
