Doege, Carol M. (10 AUG 1963)

Miss Carol M. Doege, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Doege, Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.), became the bride of George L. Pagel, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Pagel, Owen, on Saturday, Aug. 10th, 1963 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Thorp.

Rev. Robert W. Olson performed the two o’clock double ring ceremony. The songs sung were, “O Perfect Love,” “The Wedding Prayer” and “The Song of Ruth.”

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore an enchanting Chantilly type gown. A Sabrina neckline with seed pearls and sequins highlighted the front bodice. Nylon tulle lines and scalloped edge sleeves with gauntlets accented the fitted lace bodice. Her bouffant shirred lace skirt was styled with rosettes to add back interest.

She wore a crown of lace trimmed with miniature pearls and crystals which secured her fingertip veil of pure silk illusion and she carried a cascade bouquet of red roses.

Miss Carolyn Doege, twin sister of the bride, was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Pat Schultze and Ruth Reinke, friends of the bride. They wore identical dresses of pink nylon over taffeta with cap sleeves. An unpressed pleated skirt with a wrap around effect was highlighted by a slef rose and ribbon at the waistline. They wore a crown of pearls and crystal with a face veil. Each carried a cascade bouquet of white and pink carnations.

Gary Christen, cousin of the groom, was best man. Groomsmen were Edwin Barth, cousin of the groom, and David Hoeper, cousin of the groom.

Ushers were Harold Doege and William Pagel, brother of the bride and groom, respectively.

A reception was held at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church basement and a dance was held at the Legion Hall, Thorp.

The bride’s mother chose a pink sheath dress of silk lined chiffon. She wore a corsage of red carnations.

The bride and groom are graduates of Thorp High School. The groom is employed at the Fredrick Post in Owen, Wis. The newlyweds will reside in Owen (Clark Co.), Wis.
