Palms, Nancy (Marriage - 31 August 1968)

Nancy Lee Palms, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert K. Palms of Rt. 3 Thorp, became the bride Saturday of James Anton Fitzl, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Fitzl of Rt. 2 Greenwood. The 1 p.m. nuptial ceremony was performed by the Rev. Leander Koopman in St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenwood.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride chose for her wedding a floor-length Empire A-line gown, styled with an Alencon lace bodice. A detachable Watteau train of peau de soie enhanced the back of the gown. The round neckline and train were edged with lace ruffles. A headpiece of organza petals and orange blossoms held her veil. She carried a bouquet of yellow gladioli and white chrysanthemums.

Bridal aides were Miss Mary Fitzl, maid-of-honor; Miss Judith Sumer, and Miss Marcia Meinholdt, bridesmaids. The aides wore floor-length blue nylon-over-taffeta gowns, with white bodices. Matching bow headpieces held their small veils. A small train highlighted each ensemble. Each carried a bouquet similar to that of the bride.

The groom was attended by Charles Hase of Greenwood as bestman. His groomsmen were Ronald Henchen and Kenneth Fitzl, both of Greenwood. Ushers were Larry Duda and Ervin Kollmansberger, Jr., of Greenwood.

Mr. and Mrs. Fitzl left on a wedding trip to Pensacola, Fla., where Mr. Fitzl is stationed at the naval center. He is a member of the Marine Corps.
