Mabie, Cheryl Ann (Marriage - 16 March 1957) 
 

Miss Cheryl Ann Mabie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Milo Mabie of Neillsville, and James Earl Holt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Holt of Greenwood, were married at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, March 16, in the Congregational Church, Neillsville.  The double ring service was performed by the Rev. Frank B. Harcey, pastor, before an altar banked with floral bouquets.  One hundred and 50 guests attended. 
 

The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, was attired in a full length gown of ruffled white French illusion lace, over a full skirt of taffeta.  The bodice also made of French illusion lace, buttoned up the back and was topped with a double Peter Pan collar. The sleeves were full length and came to points on the back of the hands.  They were trimmed with tiny pearl buttons at the wrists.  A finger-tip illusion veil, edged with French lace and attached to a tiara head piece of rhinestones and pearls, completed her costume.  Her flowers were a cascade of red roses and white hyacinths. 
 

The bride was attended by Mrs. Robert Wilsmann of Neillsville sister of the groom, as matron of honor.  Her bridesmaids were her sister, Miss Mary Jean Mabie, and Miss Joan Meinholdt, a friend, also of Neillsville.  The attendants wore identical gowns of pink, and each carried a colonial bouquet of pink and white flowers.

Miss Sarah Albrecht, a friend of the bride, sang two solos, "The Lord’s Prayer and "Oh Promise Me," accompanied at the organ by Mrs. Jess W. Scott. 
 

A reception was held at the American Legion Hall for 109 guests. The hall was decorated in pink and white to match the costumes of the bride’s attendants.
