Miss Carol Oldenhoff of Athens was presented in marriage by her father to Daniel Buss of Abbotsford in a ceremony performed at Trinity Lutheran church, Athens, Saturday, April 24.  The Rev. W. R. Krueger read the service during which Mrs. Lucille Boneske sang “The Lord’s Prayer” and “O Perfect Love”.

Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Oldenhoff of Athens and Mr. and Mrs. James Buss of Abbotsford.

For her wedding, the bride was attired in a gown of Chantilly lace designed with tiers of lace on the skirt, accented with sequins and a fitted bodice that featured a scalloped neckline.  A crown of net and pearls with a butterfly design held her bouffant veil.  She carried a bouquet of red roses, white stephanotis and ivy.

Mrs. Dennis Bowen of Tomahawk, a cousin of the groom and Miss Donna Oldenhoff, a sister of the bride, and Mr. Bowen and David Oelstrom of Highwood, Ill., completed the wedding party.
