Miller, Carole Mae (Marriage - 23 Sept. 1950)

Miss Carol Mae Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Miller, Colby, and Marvin O. Busse, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Busse, Abbotsford, were married on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 23, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, in the town of Green Grove. The Rev. Paul Dietz officiated at the double ring ceremony.

Miss Phyllis Radtke, Wausau, cousin of the groom, and Miss Audrey Schroeder, Collins, cousin of the bride, served as bridal attendants. The groom was attended by the bride’s cousin, Halver Becken, Colby, and Ronald Busse, Abbotsford, the groom’s brother. James Herman and Robert Schumacher, Dorchester, ushered.

The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of white satin, fashioned with a fitted bodice that featured a sheer yoke embroidered with rhinestones and pearls. The long sleeves tapered to points over the hands and the full skirt was folded in unpressed pleats at the waistline. Her veil of illusion was adorned with appliqués of lace and fell from a beaded tiara. She carried a white prayer book topped with a white orchid and baby mums fastened to satin streamers.

The maid of honor wore a yellow net gown over taffeta with net yoke in drop shoulder effect. She carried a bouquet of orchid carnations. The bridesmaid’s gown of orchid net over taffeta was fashioned identically to the maid of honor’s and she carried yellow carnations.
