Potter, Mrs. Doris Elizabeth (Marriage - 11 April 1970)

Mrs. Doris Elizabeth Potter and James L. Simenson, both of Neillsville, were united in marriage at 2 p.m. Saturday at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. The Rev. Norman Lindloff officiated at the double-ring ceremony.

The bride was attired in a pastel yellow shift style dress and wore a corsage of lavender orchids. Her matron-of-honor, Mrs. Harley (Helen) Miller, wore an identical dress of pastel green and an orchid corsage.

Rudy Opelt served as best man.

Kendall Smith sang, “O Perfect Love” and “The Lord’s Prayer,” accompanied at the organ by Victor Lehmann.

Following the ceremony a reception and dinner was held at the Silver Dome Supper club with 53 guests attending. An open house and a dance were held Saturday night in their honor at the Wildcat Inn.

After they return from a week’s wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs. Simenson will reside on Route 3, Neillsville.
