Bitter, Rosemary (Marriage - 13 Nov. 1943)

Preceding a 9:00 o’clock nuptial high mass in St. Bernard’s Catholic church, Saturday morning, nuptial vows were exchanged between Miss Rosemary Bitter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Bitter and Jacob Beyerl, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Beyerl, Colby, Route 1. The Rev. Francis Brockman performed the double-ring ceremony.

For her wedding, the bride wore a white taffeta gown with a circular train and long sleeves which ended in points over the hand. Pearls bordered the square neckline and lace bordered the two tiered veil which fell from a matching head dress. She wore a pearl necklace, a gift from her mother, and carried a large bouquet of roses and mums, tied with a large bow of wide satin ribbon.

Attending as maid of honor was Miss Juanita Sybeldon, of St. Mary’s School of Nursing, Wausau. She wore a frock of pink taffeta with blue dots and a blue floral wreath. Her shoulder corsage was made of baby mums and roses.

Miss Louise Grumann, Lanoa, who was bridesmaid, wore an identically styled frock with its shirred bodice and full skirt, in blue, with pink dots and a pink head dress. Her corsage was of red roses.

Both attendants are friends of the bride.
