The altar of the Neillsville Methodist Chruch was graced with bouquets of white gladioli and pink carnations for the wedding Saturday uniting in marriage Miss Janice Ann Wendt of Milwaukee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Wendt of Neillsville, and Ronald Hribar of Milwaukee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig Hribar of Greenwood.  The Rev.

The Basque bodice was further highlighted by a fitted mid-riff. The bell-shaped skirt was accented with Alencon lace appliqués near the hemline and on the double Watteau train, with bow trim, which was attached to the back waistline. Her bouffant veil of silk illusion was secured to a pillbox headpiece, trimmed with seed pearls. She carried a bridal bouquet of red roses with green ivy and white bow trim.

Bridesmaids were Miss Mary Reams of Kenosha and Miss Cheryl Opelt of Neillsville.  The attendants wore Sea spray green floor length formals, styled with lace bodices that featured bateau necklines.  Their sheath skirts were of chiffon over taffeta, styled with satin accented empire waistlines. The back of the bodices were completed by lace Watteau panels with bow trim.  They wore matching open crown pillbox headpieces to which their pouf veils were attached.  Pink roses and white chrysanthemums formed the attendants’ bouquets.
