Montgomery, Gayle Corinne (Marriage - 19 August 1966)

Zion Lutheran Church in Granton was the scene Saturday of the Wedding of Miss Gayle Corinne Montgomery and William m. Mesar, both of Rt. 2 Granton. Vows were exchanged before an altar graced by three baskets of flowers. The Rev. F. C. Benecke performed the double ring ceremony.

“The Lord’s prayer” and “The Wedding Prayer” were sung by the bride’s sisters, Misses Colleen and Connie Montgomery, accompanied at the organ by Mrs. Leland Garbisch.

Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Allen Montgomery and MR. and Mrs. Joe Mesar.

The bride was attired in a floor length silhouette gown of Chantilly lace and nylon organza over taffeta. The fitted bodice featured a Sabrina neckline edged with sequins and seed pearls, and long, tapered sleeves, a crescent waistline and a large Watteau chapel train. Her bouffant veil billowed from a floral shaped headpiece of lace, crystal and seed pearls. She carried a trailing cascade arrangement of yellow roses and stephanotis entwined with ivy.

Her maid of honor was her sister, Miss Colleen Montgomery. Bridesmaids were Miss Connie Montgomery, Mrs. James Mesar of Duluth, Minn., and Miss Bonnie Mesar. Each carried one large yellow Duchess Rose.

James Mesar of Duluth, Minn., was bestman for his brother. Groomsmen were Raymond Mullins of Marshfield, Larry Sternitzky of Granton and Brett Montgomery of Granton. Ushers were Larry Opelt and Richard Geldernick.

Mr. and Mrs. Mesar will make their home in Marshfield, where Mr. Mesar is employed.
