Johnson,
Sharon (Marriage - 2 Mar. 1957)
Mr. and Mrs.
Myron Brecke are at home to friends on the William Brecke farm at
Stetsonville, Wisconsin, Route 1. Their marriage took place Saturday, March 2
at Zion Evangelical Lutheran church at Stetsonville.
Parents of
the bride, the former Sharon Johnson, are Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Johnson, Curtiss, and the groom is the son of William Brecke,
Stetsonville.
The Rev.
William P. Holtzhausen read the marriage ceremony at 1:30
o’clock during which Donald Vircks sang "O Perfect Love," and
"The Lord’s Prayer." Mrs. Holtzhausen played the
accompaniment.
For the
occasion, the bride wore a floor length gown designed with a bodice
of Chantilly lace with a sequin trimmed Sabrina neckline and long,
tapered sleeves. Lace appliqués accented the nylon tulle
skirt. Her finger tip veil was secured by a pearl head piece. She
carried a cascade bouquet of red roses, white carnations, and
stephanotis.
Miss Arla
Brecke, Stetsonville, cousin of the groom, was maid of honor, and
Miss Idelle Bowen, Curtiss, was bridesmaid.
The
identical, orchid net dresses, worn by the attendants, were
detailed with ruffled lace on the skirts and bodice. They wore
jackets of matching lace and carried colonial bouquets of yellow
roses, encircled by white chrysanthemums and stephanotis.
Bruce Dietz,
Stetsonville, another cousin of the groom, as best man, and Roger
Kramer, Abbotsford, attended the groom.
Ushers were
Glenn Schauss, Kaukauna, and Emil Pauer, Medford, brothers-in-law
of the bride and groom, respectively.
For her
daughter’s wedding, Mrs. Johnson chose a black ensemble with
white accessories. Her corsage was made of red roses and white
carnations.
For the
wedding reception and supper, in the Curtiss village hall, guests
came from North Chicago and Wirth, Ill.; Kaukauna, Milwaukee,
Scandinavia, Medford, Dorchester, Wausau, Greenwood, Marshfield,
Stetsonville, Curtiss, Milan, Colby, and Abbotsford.
In the evening, the new Mr. and Mrs. Brecke greeted friends at a wedding dance at Memorial hall, Dorchester.
