Christenson, Diane Lynn (Marriage – 28 June 1975)
Miss Diane Lynn Christenson and William T. Mech were married Saturday, June
28, in a 7:30 p.m. ceremony performed at the First Presbyterian Church,
Wausau, with the Rev. Thomas York, pastor, and the Rev. Clifford Gilleland,

Howard Johnson’s in Wausau.
The bride, presented in marriage by her father, is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John C. Christenson, Wausau. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin E. Mech, Neillsville,

A bouquet of white roses, baby’s breath and stephanotis knots complimented

skirt flowing into a chapel train bordered in satin.
Attending the bride were Nancy Mottershaw, Troy, Mi., as honor attendant,
and Julie Sootsman, Battle Creek, Mi., Marleen Mech of Wisconsin Rapids,
sister-in-law of the groom, and Jeanne Schweers, Wausau. Their blue
high-waist gowns were accented with dotted swiss hemline ruffling and

Rapids, brother of the groom, and Kyle Shelton, Friona, Tx.

A rehearsal dinner June 27 at the Hoffman House, Wausau, was given by the
groom’s parents.
The new Mrs. Mech graduated from Wausau East High School in 1974, and
