Miss Shirley Ann Rothamer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Rothamer, Loyal (Clark Co., Wis.) , and Ronald Domine, son of Mr. and Mrs. Maniual Domine, Loyal, were married in a ceremony performed by the Rev. Fr. N. E. King in St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, Thursday morning, Feb. 17, 1955.

Alternate ruffles of net and lace over satin fashioned the skirt of the strapless formal worn by the bride.  A net bodice with rhinestone trim and nylon lace jacket with long, pointed sleeves completed the gown.  Her fingertip veil of rhinestone trimmed illusion was attached to a satin headdress.  She carried a cascade bouquet of red roses and calla lilies.

She chose for her maid of honor, her cousin, Miss Sharon Ann Poehnlein of Medford.  Miss Poehnlein wore a gown of cotillion blue fashioned with a strapless bodice of nylon net over taffeta worn with a lace bolero.  She wore a sweetheart hat and gauntlets of matching net.  Her rhinestone choker and earrings were gifts of the bride.  She carried a bouquet of white and pink tinted carnations.  Serving as bridesmaids were her cousin, Miss Marcia Danen, Stetsonville, and Miss Judy Weyhmiller, Loyal.  With their shrimp colored gowns, styled similarly to that of the maid of honor, they wore sweetheart hats of net and net gauntlets.  Their flowers were white and blue tinted carnations.  Their rhinestone chokers and earrings were gifts of the bride.
