Vine, Jane Ann (Marriage - 13 June 1970)

Miss Jane Ann Vine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Vine of Granton, was united in marriage to William Lee Knoff, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Knoff of Neillsville, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the United Church of Christ in Neillsville. The Rev. George Yons performed the double ring ceremony in the presence of 175 guests. The church was decorated in candelabra and ivy.

The bride was attired in a floor-length, empire-styled gown of organza, fashioned with bishop sleeves and a mandarin neckline. Lace accented the A-line silhouette, highlighted by a sweeping chapel train of sheer illusion, edged in white lace secured to a pillbox hat. She carried a bouquet of phalaenopsis orchids, stephanotis, white roses and babies’ breath as she was escorted to the altar by her father.

Miss Sheila Wunnicke of Richland Center was maid-of-honor, and Miss Virginia Vine and Miss Julie Knoff were bridesmaids. They wore floor-length dresses of orchid print voile, styled with cavalier-shaped sleeves and a jewel neckline formed by a flattering ruffle. They carried bouquets of lavender pompons, centered with white vigil-light candles.

Larry Olson served as best man and Jim Knoff and Ronald Svetlik were groomsmen. Miss Kristine Vine was flowergirl and Miss Eileen Zank provided music.

A reception was held in the church parlor, which was decorated in lavender ribbons and white candles.

The bride is a senior at Wisconsin State University-La Crosse and will be a student at La Crosse State this summer. She is a member of the Delta Zeta sorority. Mr. Knoff is a senior at Michigan Technological University and this summer will work for the state highway department. He is a member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.
