Micke, Carol (3 OCT 1984)

Miss Carol Ann Micke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Micke, Route 3, Stanley, became the bride of Gary E. McDermott, Medford, son of Mr. and Mrs. James McDermott, Jamaica, Iowa at a Nuptials high mass at St. Bernard's church, four on October 3. Rev. Francis Rockman performed the 10 o'clock ceremony. Yellow and white moms decorated the altar.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a floor length gown of silk bombazine and Chantilly lace. The lace bodice had a scalloped scoop neckline trimmed with sequins and pearls, and long pointed sleeves. The full skirt is caught up in front with a lace ruffle. The train started from the shoulders and fell into a chapel train, the same lace completely edging the sides and ham. A bouffant veil fell from a flower shaped headpiece of orange blossom and seed pearls. She carried a cascade of white Fugi mums and yellow sweetheart roses.

Miss Janetta Mongold, a friend of the bride's from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was maid of honor, wearing a fern green satin floor length dress. The bodice had a bateau neckline and elbow sleeves. The sheath skirt was accented in the back by a wide floating panel that falls from the back waist. Her headpiece was a matching mum flower with a bouffant veil.

Ann Vander Heiden, cousin of the bride, Jeannie Dallas, friend of the bride, of St. Paul, Minnesota and Joan Elsenack, friend of the bride of Minneapolis, Minnesota wore gowns of hazel, gold, and beige identical to the maid of honor.

The flower girl, Dawn Stroinski, niece of the bride, wore a dress similar to the bride’s and carried a basket of assorted colored mums.

Best man was James Van Gundy, friend of the groom from Jamaica, Iowa. Ushers were Jerry Micke, brother of the bride; Terry Frantum, cousin of the groom from Jamaica, Iowa; Joe Tevsh, friend of the groom from Sheboygan, Wis., and Armon Micke, brother of the bride.

Nephews of the bride, Danny Stroinski and Dean Micke, were ring bearers.

Breakfast for 100 guests and a reception for 250 was held at St. Bernard's dining hall.

The bride, a graduate of Thorp High School, has been employed with the U.S. Dept. of Interior in Minneapolis. The groom, a graduate of Jamaica, Iowa High School and of Anesthesia School in Minneapolis, is now with the staff at the Medford Memorial Hospital.

The couple will make their home in Medford after a trip to Miami Beach, Florida and Washington DC.
