Hanson, Mildred (28 JUN 1950)

At 2 p.m. Thursday, June 28, 1950, in the North Kickapoo Lutheran Church, Miss Mildred Hanson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Hanson of Viroqua, became the bride of Kenneth Fanta, son of Mrs. Anna Fanta of Viroqua.  The Rev. H. M. Finstad officiated.

The bride’s ballerina length gown was embroidered eyelet organdy. Her shoulder length veil was caught in a cap of matching organdy.  She carried a colonial bouquet of red sweetheart roses and white sweet peas.

As matron of honor, Mrs. Kenneth Zitzner, the bride’s sister, wore an aqua gown of ballerina length.  She carried a colonial bouquet of pink sweet peas.  Junior bridesmaids were Annette Hanson and Lucille Fanta, sisters of the bride and groom, respectively, who wore ballerina length yellow dotted Swiss gowns.

Kathleen Zitzner, the bride’s niece, was flower girl.  She was attired in white dotted Swiss and carried a colonial bouquet of assorted sweet peas.  Roger Hanson, cousin of the bride, was ring bearer.

Best man was Raymond Fanta, a cousin of the groom.  Leon Fanta and Kenneth Zitzner were ushers.

For her daughter’s wedding, Mrs. Hanson chose a beige lace dress with pink accessories.  She wore a corsage of pink Esther Reed daisies.  The bridegroom’s mother wore a pink figured dress with black and white accessories. She wore a corsage of white Esther Reed daisies.

After a short honeymoon, the couple will be at the home of the bride’s parents.  On Aug. 1 Mrs. Fanta will resume her teaching duties here.
