Vine, Fern Ruth (Marriage - 13 June 1970)

Given in marriage by her father, Fern Ruth Vine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Vine of Granton, became the bride of Donald Elton Rowe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Milford Rowe of Granton, Saturday afternoon. The Rev. William Dushek performed the double ring ceremony in the presence of 175 guests, at the United Methodist Church in Neillsville.

The bride carried a bouquet of white orchids and roses with stephanotis. She wore a crepe empire waist dress with accents of Chantilly lace and a bouffant-style veil.

Mrs. Alice Dahl was matron-of-honor and Mrs. Shirley Ahlborn was bridesmaid. They wore lavender, green and yellow princess style gowns with daisies embossed nylon over solid color, and carried baskets of daisies.

Alvin Dahl served as bestman and Kenneth Vine as groomsman. Ushers were Dennis Ahlborn and Ronald Vine. Teresa Vine and Jolene Vine were flower girls. Miss Susan Dudei sang, accompanied by Miss Linda Diers.

A reception was held in the Fellowship Hall of United Methodist Church which was decorated in lavender, green and yellow.

The bride graduated from Granton High School and from a beauty school in Eau Claire. She presently owns and managed the Moderne Beauty Shoppe in Neillsville. The groom attended the same high school, took a short farm course in Madison and is now farming.

After a wedding trip to Northern Wisconsin and Michigan, the couple will make their home on Rt. 1 Granton.
