Kramer, Carolyn E. (Marriage - 8 September 1962)

Nuptial vows were exchanged September 8, in St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville uniting in marriage Miss Carolyn E. Kramer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kramer, Loyal, and Douglas J. Larsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Larsen, Rt. 1 Neillsville. The double ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. Fr. Bernard T. Kelly before an altar banked with baskets of white gladioli, yellow chrysanthemums and miniature marigolds.

For her wedding the bride chose a street length gown of white Chantilly lace over satin in a cut away design and edged with scalloped appliqués of lace studded with sequins.  The fitted bodice was styled with a Sabrina scalloped neckline sparkled with sequins. A fingertip veil of imported silk illusion was attached to a tiny Queen’s crown fashioned with scallops outlined with seed pearls. She carried a bouquet of fall yellow roses entwined with white stephanotis and colored ribbons.

The maid of honor, Miss Mary Ann Meyer of Minneapolis, Minn., and bridesmaid, Miss Delores Kramer, Chicago, Ill, wore street lengthy dresses of New Haven blue chiffon net over delustered satin designed with bell skirts.  The fitted bodices were styled with matching removable jackets.  They wore matching tiaras with nylon veiling, and carried an arrangement of fringed bronze chrysanthemums.

Bennie Urlaub of Neillsville attended the groom as bestman.  Groomsman was his brother, Dennis Larsen of Neillsville.

St. Mary’s children sang for the nuptial high mass.

After a wedding trip in northern Wisconsin Mr. and Mrs. Larsen are residing in Granton, where the bride a graduate of Loyal High School, is secretary in the Granton High School.  Mr. Larsen, a graduate of Neillsville High School, owns and operates a bulk milk truck.
