Pekol, Judith Ann (Marriage - 20 August 1966)

The altar of Holy Family Catholic Church in Willard was graced with baskets of yellow and white gladioli August 20, for a double ring ceremony uniting in marriage Miss Judith Ann Pekol, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Pekol, Sr., of Willard, and Richard L. Jensen of Wausau, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Jensen of Rt. 1 Withee.

The bride wore a floor length lace gown, richly embellished with iridescent sequins. The molded lace bodice was styled with a scalloped Sabrina neckline and long sleeves, tapering to points at the wrists. The bouffant skirt featured a lace peplum front above two ruffled tiers of nylon tulle and border lace gleaming with sequins. The back of the skirt was of ruffled tiers of tulle and lace. A fingertip veil flowed from the center of a pearl and sequin crown. She carried a bouquet of glamilia, pink roses and camellia leaf foliage.

Mrs. Beverly Dann of Washington D. C. was her matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Mrs. Carol Pekol of Wausau and Mrs. Sarah Pekol of Willard. They wore floor length sheath style dresses in Nile green crepe, styled with a back panel. A ruffle framed the elbow length sleeves of lace and the braided nylon modified Empire bodices. They carried fan-shaped bouquets of yellow roses with streamers of yellow rosebuds.

The groom was attended by Edward Jensen of Wausau as bestman. Groomsmen were James and Stanley Pekol of Willard. Ushers were Robert Pernic of Highwood, Ill., and Jerald Richmond of Greenwood.
