Hrasky, Carol Jean (Marriage - 17
January 1970)
The United Methodist Church of Neillsville was the setting
January 17, for the 7 p.m. candlelight wedding of Carol jean Hrasky, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William Hrasky of Neillsville and Michael English Hamblin, son of
Mrs. E. E. Hamblin, of Virginia Beach, Va., and W. Hamblin of Norfolk, Va. The
Rev. William Dushek preformed the double-ring ceremony before approximately 100
guests.
The bride was given in marriage by her father, was attired in a
floor length Empire styled bridal gown of white velvet fashioned with
three-quarter length sleeves that extended to the wrist in a flattering ruffle
of Venice lace. The same lace formed the yoke at the neckline of the A-line
silhouette, sweeping into a chapel train. Her bouffant veil of sheer bridal
illusion was secured to a face framing garland of Venice lace petals. She
carried a flower arrangement of red rose buds.
Miss Jo Ann Bollom of
Neillsville was maid of honor and Mrs. Stephanie Robinett, sister of the groom,
of Norfolk, Va., was bridesmaid. Their floor-length dresses featured mortar lace
Empire styled bodices with long sleeves and jewel necklines accented with a lace
ruffle. Ruby red velvet fashioned the A-line skirts. A cluster of satin and
velvet loops secured their veils. Each carried a bouquet of straw flowers and
roses.
H. A. (Robbie) Robinett of Norfolk, VA., brother-in-law of the
groom was bestman and Franklin Hrasky, brother of the bride was groomsman. Greg
Baur of Milwaukee served as usher.
The “Lohengrin Wedding March” and
“Voluntary Trumpeter” were played on the organ by Mrs. James Musil who also
accompanied the singing of a group of fourth grade girls.
White flowers
decorated the bridal table at the Merchants Hotel where the wedding reception
was held with about 60 guests attending. Following the reception the couple left
on a short wedding trip into northern Wisconsin.
The bride is a 1964
Neillsville High School graduate. She attended the University of
Wisconsin-Oshkosh and Patricia Stevens Modeling and Career School, graduating
