Schmidt, Marie D. (Marriage - 21 June 1958) 
 

St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Loyal was the setting Saturday for the wedding of Miss Marie D. Schmidt and Lawrence F. Waldhauser, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Schmidt of Rt. 2, Spencer, and Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Waldhauser of Rt. 2, Loyal.  The Rev. Fr. Norbert King performed the double ring ceremony. 
 

The bride, given in marriage by her father, chose the traditional white for her gown. The long, full skirt was floor-length, with medium-length train. Ruffled layers of tulle fell from the waistline.  The tight fitted bodice was fashioned with a scalloped neckline and her fingertip veil fell from a pearl studded crown.  She carried red and white roses. 
 

Miss Dorothy Schmidt was her sister’s honor attendant, and bridesmaids were Evelyn Schmidt, Delores Linder, Florence Schimmer and Mardene Worchel. Barbara Zak of Highland Park, Ill. was junior bridesmaid. 
 

The groom was attended by Norman Waldhauser as bestman. Attending him as groomsmen were Matt Johanek, Harold Kaiser, Jerome Schmidt and Donald Schmidt.  Ushers were Andrew Schmidt, Jr. and Billy Horn.  Richard Zak carried the rings on a white satin pillow, and Charlotte Schmidt, a cousin of the bride, was flower girl. 
 

A reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents following the ceremony. 
 

On their return from a wedding trip to northern Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Canada and New York, they will reside in Milwaukee. 
 

Both bride and groom are graduates of the Loyal High School.  She has been employed by Dr. Zak in Highland Park, Ill., and the groom is attending the University of Wisconsin.
