Adams, Nancy Lou (Marriage - 7 March 1964)

Nuptial vows were exchanged Saturday in a double ring ceremony performed by the Rev. Evan Dieck in the Zion American Lutheran Church in Pine Valley, uniting in marriage Nancy Lou Adams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Adams of Neillsville, and Larry Lee Klueckman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Forest Klueckman of Fall Creek.

Bouquets of white and lavender gladioli adorned the church altar.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a floor-length gown of Chantilly lace.  A Sabrina neckline, enhanced with sequins and pearls, and long, tapered sleeves, accented the fitted bodice.  The story book skirt was fashioned with tiers of lace.  A crown of frosted pearls held her bouffant veil.  She carried a cascade bouquet centered with a lavender orchid surrounded by yellow roses and white hyacinths.

Miss Bonnie Adams was her maid-of-honor. Carol Ebert of Neillsville served as bridesmaid.  The attendants were attired in street-length dresses of nylon organza, styled with portrait necklines.  The bodices of Chantilly lace were sleeveless, with nylon organza jackets. Matching veils were attached to a silk rose.  They carried colonial bouquets made of champagne carnations, pink sweetheart roses and heather, backed with gold lace.

Kim Ziegler carried the rings on a white satin pillow. Debbie Ziegler, as flower girl, was dressed as a miniature bride.  She carried a small bouquet duplicating those of the other attendants.

Vernon Klueckman of Fall Creek was bestman.  Groomsman was Larry Heath of Eleva.  Ushers were Charles Volk of Willard and Dennis Austin of Barron.

"Because" and "The Lord’s Prayer" were sung by Wilfred Galstad, who was accompanied by Mrs. Kenneth Karnitz.
