Stadler, Ruth Alice (Marriage - 8 Jan. 1949)

Miss Ruth Ann Stadler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Stadler, Marshfield, became the bride, Saturday, Jan. 8, of Wayne Anthony Shookman, Merrill. The Rev. Edmund Cramer officiated at the 9:00 a.m. Nuptial High Mass at the Sacred Heart Catholic church, at Marshfield.

For the double ring ceremony, a white slipper satin gown was worn by the bride. A ninon yoke, outlined with a satin bertha and long, tapering sleeves, fashioned the fitted bodice. Her flowing skirt swept into a chapel train. A tiara of orange blossoms and seed pearls held the bride’s fingertip lace edged veil and she carried a shower bouquet of American Beauty roses, and sweet peas.

Miss Gertrude Stadler was her sister’s only attendant. She was attired in a daffodil yellow gown of net over taffeta, styled identically to that of the bride, and wore a blusher veil. Her bouquet consisted of Talisman roses and white chrysanthemums.

John Stadler, brother of the bride, was best man.

A dinner and reception were held at the home of the bride’s parents.
