Zastrow, Mary Ann (Marriage - 17 November 1962)

St. Peter Claver Church in Sheboygan was the scene November 17 of the marriage of Miss Mary Ann Zastrow and Lt. Gerald Schmidt of Neillsville.  Bouquets of white gladioli and chrysanthemums were used on the altar as the Rev. Robert Hoeller performed the double ring ceremony.

Parents of the bride are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence F. Zastrow of Sheboygan.

For her wedding the bride was attired in a re-embroidered Alencon lace over mist taffeta gown that combined to style a fitted bodice.  It was topped with clusters of simulated pearls. The bridal gown was patterned with a scalloped Sabrina neckline and three quarter length sleeves, trimmed with pearls.  The bell skirt of silk mist was accented with appliqués of lace.

The back waist was highlighted with a butterfly bow, which topped the chapel train. A crown of scalloped Alencon lace, styled with scrolls of seed pearls and trimmed with peau de soie bow, held her silk illusion veil. The bridal bouquet was composed of white pompoms and pink garnet roses with streamers of English ivy.

Miss Genevieve Zastrow was her sister’s maid of honor.  A niece, Karen Zastrow, was the miniature bride.  The bride’s nephew, Michael Zastrow was ring bearer.

The groom was served by Brian F. Schmidt, Dennis and Lawrence Zastrow.

Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt have returned from a wedding trip and on Thanksgiving Day left for Ft. Lewis, Wash., where the groom is stationed at McCord AFB.  He is an alumnus of Wisconsin State College in Oshkosh, and recently completed air force officer training school.
