Miss Donna Marie Luebke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Luebke of Waupaca, became the bride of Kenneth Franklin Ploeckelman on Saturday, Aug. 19, 1961, at St. Louis Catholic Church, Dorchester.  The rev. Gerald F. Schuh officiated at the double ring ceremony and nuptial high mass at 10 o’clock.

The bride was attired in a ballerina length gown of white slipper satin with Chantilly nylon lace over taffeta, trimmed with sequins.  A pearl crown headdress held her fingertip veil.  She carried a bouquet of red roses and white gladioli with ribbon streamers.
