Baskets of deep pink peonies, white
gladiolas, and white mums were on the altar of Sacred Heart Catholic Church,
Edson when Miss Mildred Schreier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Math Schreier,
Stanley, became the bride of Wm. Mickett Jr. on Saturday, June 15th, 1963. Rev.
Father Knopp performed the double ring ceremony at ten a.m. The senior choir
sang the Nuptial Mass and Mrs. Arland Wald sang “On This Day Our Beautiful
Mother,” as the bride place a bouquet on the Blessed Virgin’s altar and the
groom lit a Votive light at St. Joseph’s altar.
The bride, given away by
her father, wore a floor length gown of white imported hand clipped rose point
lace over white satin, the basque bodice was fashioned with a Sabrina neckline
and long tapered lace sleeves. The bouffant skirt of tiered ruffles was flowing
into a peacock chapel train caught with tiny bows in the back. Her fingertip
veil of sheer imported illusion nylon tulle hand rolled edge fell from a Queen’s
crown of seed pearls. She also wore white pearl earrings. She carried a cascade
bouquet of red roses, entwined with her father’s white pearl First Communion

Miss Rita Schreier was her sisters’ maid of honor, wearing a Nile green floor

their gowns, also pearl earrings. Each carried a crystal rosary and lace
handkerchiefs, gifts of the bride.
