The First Congregational Church in Owen was the scene of the nuptials uniting Eveline Elizabeth Goldbach and Lanny Thomas Stewart on Saturday night, Aug. 31^st, 1963.  The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy A. Echert of St. Paul and the parents of the groom are Mr. and Mrs. Arthur T. Stewart of Withee (Clark Co., Wis.).  The Rev. Ralph Claybaugh performed the 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon ceremony.  The altar was adorned with white candles and white gladioli.  Baskets with sprays of white gladioli and mums in gold also added to the nuptial scene as the bride was given in marriage by Mr. Roy A. Echert.  David Jablonic of Owen sang "The Wedding Prayer" and "The Lord’s Prayer," and he was accompanied by Jane Westendorf at the organ.

The bride was attired in a white floor length silk organza and lace gown fashioned in a modified princess style.  The bodice was decorated with flowers and lace, having a scooped neckline, short sleeves and featured a double draped bow in the back.  Her elbow length veil was held by an orange blossom circlet and she carried a bouquet of white roses.
