Pischer, Eloise (1949)


Schwantes-Pischer

Miss Eloise Pischer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gust Pischer, route 2, Spencer, became the bride of Herbert Schwantes, son of Mrs. Martha Schwantes at a double ring nuptial ceremony performed by the Rev. Randolph Mueller, at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon at Trinity Lutheran Church here.

Attending the bride as matron of honor was her sister Mrs. Allen Breheim, Marshfield. The groom’s cousin, Mrs. Allen Dietsche and his neice [sic], Miss Darlene Schwantes, were bridesmaids, and the bride’s sister Lucille Pischer was flower girl. Allen Dietsche, of Marshfield was best man; Allen Breheim, and Donald Pischer were groomsmen. John Neumann, Marshfield, and Raymond Mundt, Chili, were the ushers.

The bride’s gown was of white slipper satin with portrait neckline and long skirt trimmed with side panels of Chantilly lace and satin ruffles, and ending in a train. Her finger-tip veil was held in place with orange blossoms, and the cascade bouquet she carried included white gladioli and pink roses.

Hoop-skirted taffeta gowns and sweetheart bonnets were worn by the three bridal aides. Mrs. Breheim choosing orchid, Mrs. Dietshce green, and Miss Schwantes yellow. Each carried a bouquet of white and colored gladioli. The flower girl had a white slipper satin dress like that worn by the bride and carried pink roses and white gladioli.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the bride’s home and supper was served in the church parlors to nearly 200 guests. At night a dance was held in Lincoln Park, Bakerville, after which refreshments were served at the home of the bride. Later the bridal pair left on a Honeymoon trip to northern Wisconsin.

The guest list included relatives and friends from Milwaukee, Granton, Unity, Loyal, Stratford, Greenwood, Chili and Marshfield.

Mrs. Schwantes has been employed at Normington’s in Marshfield and her husband is employed by the Farmers Co-op Co. After October 6 they will be at home here.

The Record joins their many local friends in extending congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy wedded life.
