Hainz, Jean M. (Marriage - 8 May 1965)

Bouquets of white gladioli and pink carnations adorned the altar of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville, for the wedding of Miss Jean M. Hainz of Eau Claire, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hainz of Rt. 1 Neillsville, and Greg D. Tomac, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tomac of Gary, Ind.  The Rev. Fr. Bernard T. Kelly officiated at the double ring ceremony.

One hundred sixty guests witnessed as Mr. Hainz gave his daughter in marriage.  For her wedding, the bride chose a luxurious floor-length gown of imported organza over bridal taffeta, styled with three-quarter-length sleeves and a scoop neckline, daintily scalloped.  Re-embroidered lace appliqué adorned the dome skirt, sweeping into a carriage back train. Her bouffant veil of pure silk illusion was secured to a sheer petal cloche of organza.  The bridal bouquet was made up of American beauty roses.

Mrs. Conrad Becker was her sister’s matron-of-honor.  Miss Kathleen Czech was her bridesmaid. Their floor-length candied pink dresses of nylon sheer over taffeta featured bateau necklines, fitted bodices.  The semi-full skirts were styled with bustle-like backs accented with cabbage roses. Cabbage rose headpieces held their bouffant veils.

Conrad Becker was bestman. Groomsman was Joe Tomac, Jr.  Ushers were Larry Hainz and Bernard Maas.

Wedding music was furnished by the children’s choir of St. Mary’s church.

Mrs. Tomac is a graduate of Neillsville High School and a cosmetology school in Eau Claire.  Mr. Tomac, a graduate of Fargo High School, attended Purdue University extension and is a construction engineer.  Mr. and Mrs. Tomac are making their home in Eau Claire.

Guests attending the wedding were from Chicago, Ill., Gary, Ind., Kenosha, Eau Claire, Greenwood, Loyal, Marshfield and Pittsville.
