Kammerer, Patricia (Marriage –15 May 1965)

Nuptial vows were exchanged Saturday, uniting in marriage Miss Patricia Kammerer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Kammerer, and Norman Vanderwyst, son of Mr. and Mrs. LaVern Vanderwyst, all of Granton.  The double ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. Oscar Nichols in the Granton Methodist Church, the altar of which was adorned with bouquets of pink and white carnations and gladioli.

The bride chose for her wedding a floor length gown of Chantilly lace, styled with a Basque bodice and scalloped neckline. The full bouffant skirt of lace over taffeta was caught in front and back with lace cabbage roses, to reveal flounces of lace and tulle at the hemline.  Her French illusion fingertip veil was secured to a heart-shaped forehead piece of pearlized orange blossoms and leaves. She carried a cascade bouquet of red roses and miniature white carnations.

Linda Kammerer was maid-of-honor.  Bridesmaids were Sheri Matheson of Neillsville, Darlene Vanderwyst and Wanda Kammerer, both of Granton.  They wore pink street length formals of satin-faced peau over taffeta, styled with scoop necklines. The controlled skirts were formed by impressed pleats, with self fabric bow trim at the waistline.  Matching floral headpieces with seed pearl trim held bouffant veils. They carried globe arrangements of pink and white carnations.

Ralph Vanderwyst served as bestman.  Groomsmen were Algene Schmidtke, Wallace Hiles and Gary Barth of Granton.  Ushers were Harry Stafehaeger and Teddy Metcalfe.

Serving as ringbearer was Darryl Metcalfe of Spencer.  Sandy Barth was the miniature bride and carried a basket of pink rosebuds and white carnations.

Both young people are graduates of Granton High School and both are employed in Marshfield.  They are residing in the Town of Lynn.  A wedding trip is being planned for July.

Relatives from away here for the wedding were: Mr. and Mrs. Richard Miller of Durand; Mr. and Mrs. William Miller of Roscoe; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wally of Hampshire, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Van Dusen of Kingston, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Schaffer of Eau Claire; Mr. and Mrs. Harold Vandenberg of Berlin; Mr. and Mrs. James Quicker of Milwaukee; Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Kademan of Curtiss, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harwick of Canford, Mich.
