Moczarny, Irene M. (DEC 1954)

St. Hedwig’s Catholic Church, Thorp, was the setting for the wedding of Miss Irene M. Moczarny of Neenah, Wis., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J. Moczarny of Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.), and Longine A. Zoromski, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Zoromski, Wittenberg.  Rev. Hebert Zoromski, brother of the groom, performed the ceremony at a ten o’clock nuptial Mass. Pink Gladioli and yellow mums in two gold vases and potted palms decorated the church.

The Nuns at St. Hedwig’s provided the music.

The bride was escorted up the white carpeted aisle by her father.  She was attired in a lovely chapel length gown of Chantilly lace over satin.  The gown was fashioned Princess style, strapless, fitted bodice with narrow shoulder strap and a scoop neckline.  The short lace jacket had long lace sleeves, stand-up collar embroidered with sequins and tiny buttons from the neckline to below the bust line.  Her fingertip hand rolled silk illusion veil was attached to a pearl and rhinestone beaded coronation crown.  She wore drop pearl earrings.

Miss Marjorie Moczarny, sister of the bride, served as maid of honor.  She wore a purple ballerina length gown of crystallette and velvet.  The strapless gown was detailed with a fitted bodice of velvet with an insert of pleated crystallette at the bust line.  The full skirt was fashioned of crystallette over taffeta.  A purple veil halo trimmed with pearl beading and a short nose veil completed her costume.

The maid of honor and bridesmaids carried colonial bouquets of rust, white and yellow mums.  Their drop pearl earrings were gifts of the bride.

The flower girl, Barbara Stueser, Thorp, was attired in a floor length frock of purple velvet and orchid crystallette.  It was fashioned with a fitted bodice, round neckline and cap sleeves.  The full skirt of orchid crystallette was worn over taffeta.  The frock was accented with velvet flowers.  Her bouquet and gauntlets matched her frock.

Jimmy Moczarny, Wausau, nephew of the bride, was ring bearer.  He carried the rings on a satin pillow.

Emric Zoromski, Duluth, Minn., served as best man and James Zoromski, Wittenberg, Robert Brooks, Neenah and Leon Skaleski, Route 2, Thorp, and Gerald Olichwier, Stanley, Wis., ushered.

A wedding breakfast was served at the Quonset Ballroom in Thorp at 11:30 o’clock, with covers for 65 guests.  A reception followed for 300 guests.  The hall was decorated with orchid, yellow and white streamers.  In the evening a dance took place with music by Emil and His Band from Abbotsford.

The mother of the bride selected an aqua dress to which she pinned a corsage of red roses.  The groom’s mother wore a similar corsage on her costume.

The young couple will make their home at 212 ½ Smith St., Neenah.
