Weller, Myrna (30 DEC 1961)

Miss Myrna Weller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Weller, became the bride of David F. Hiatt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Hiatt of Vanderhoof, British Columbia, Canada, Saturday, Dec. 30, 1961.  The double ring ceremony was performed at 8 o’clock at Christ Lutheran Church with the Rev. F. H. Sprengler officiating.

During the service, Herbert Juneau sang "The Lord’s Prayer" and "O Perfect Love," to his own organ accompaniment.

The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a floor length gown of white silk organza over taffeta, designed in a modified princess style with long sleeves and a V neck.  The skirt was accented with panois of Alencon lace in the front and back.  A wide band of lace and organza over taffeta held the elbow length veil of illusion.  She carried a Christmas bouquet of red poinsettias and white mums.

Attending her as matron of honor was her sister, Mrs. Larry Blunck of Northfield.  Miss Maurena Hutt, a classmate of the bride, was bridesmaid.

They were attired in street length dresses of poinsettia red taffeta with full pleated skirts and three-quarter length sleeves.  The oval necklines were edged in self cording.  The front of the bodices were detailed with tailored bows at the waist lines and tiny cords bows at the back.  Their headpieces were Dior bows of matching fabric and face veils.  They carried crescent shaped bouquets of white poinsettias.

Larry Blunck was best man and Michael Leahy was groomsman.

Following the ceremony, the new Mr. and Mrs. Hiatt greeted friends at a wedding reception at the village hall.

The young couple is making their home at Abbotsford.  The groom is employed at Pathfinder Mobile Homes at Spencer.

Guests at the wedding came from Indiana, Northfield, Minn., Milwaukee, Wausau, Withee, Marshfield, Abbotsford and the surrounding area.
