In a double ring ceremony at St. Bernard’s Catholic Church, on Wednesday, Dec. 26th, 1951, Miss Lucetta Schmidt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schmidt, Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.), became the bride of Edwin Wehlacz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wehlacz, Thorp.

The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a white satin gown with Chantilly lace long pointed sleeves, scalloped collar and bodice extending into points into the medium length train. Her fingertip veil of illusion net was held in place by a satin net cap with beaded pearl narcissus on either side.
