Shefchik, Evelyn (21 JUN 1951)

A Nuptial High Mass was celebrated Thursday morning at 9 o’clock at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Loyal for Miss Evelyn Shefchik, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. J. Shefchik, Loyal (Clark Co., Wis.), and Peter J. Beyerl, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Beyerl, Colby.  She was given in marriage by her father, and officiating at the double ring ceremony was the pastor, the Rev. Norbert King.

The bride chose for her wedding gown white chiffon over satin.  The French lace inserts in the skirt extended into the train and also trimmed the bodice.

The fingertip veil of imported silk illusion fell from a bonnet of Chantilly lace trimmed in pearl orange blossom clusters.  She carried a shower bouquet of red roses and swansonia.

Mrs. Irene Brown, Loyal, was her sister’s matron of honor.  She wore an orchid taffeta dress accented with lace trimmed ruffle and cap sleeves and matching picture hat and gauntlets.  She carried a cascade bouquet of red roses and yellow carnations.

A breakfast was served to the bridal party at the home of Mrs. Irene Braun after the ceremony.  Following the dinner, served at the home of the bride’s parents, a reception was held from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.  Later in the evening a dance was given at Colby Pavilion.

The bride’s mother was attired in navy blue with pink accessories for her daughter’s wedding, while the groom’s mother chose beige with white accessories.  Both wore corsages of roses and carnations.
