Carol Cukla, Chicago, cousin of the bride, was honor attendant, wearing emerald green velveteen.  Bridesmaids wearing street length frocks were Rosann Ebben, Eau Claire, and Grace Sylla, Madison.  The attendants wore holly crowns and carried white poinsettias.

Best man was Eugene Aumann, Eau Claire, brother of the groom.  Other attendants were his brother, James Aumann, Beloit, and William Plombon, Milwaukee.

Seating guests were Frank Cukla, Chicago, and Eugene Lahr, Jr., Eau Claire.

The ceremony was followed by a family breakfast at St. Hedwig’s Parish Hall and a 6 p.m. reception.
