Joyce (Vandeberg) Richmond (Marriage - 21 August 1971)

Joyce Vandeberg Richmond became the bride of Gale Oldham Saturday, August 21, at a 2 p.m. ceremony performed at the United Methodist Church at Christie by the Rev. Eugene Antrim. Baskets of gladioli decorated the church for the private, double-ring ceremony.

“O Perfect Love” was sung by the Rev. and Mrs. Antrim and Jim Antrim.

The new Mrs. Oldham is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Vandeberg. Her husband is the son of Mr and Mrs. Ray Oldham of Rt. 2 Neillsville.

For her marriage, the bride chose a long-sleeved street-length, A-line dress of embroidered turquoise lace over white taffeta. Her corsage was fashioned of red roses and white carnations.

Mr. and Mrs. Jess Richmond, Granton, attended the couple. The matron-of-honor, the bride’s sister, wore a street-length dress of gold embossed taffeta. Her corsage was made up of bronze mums.

The bride’s home on Rt. 3 Neillsville was the scene later of a wedding reception, dinner and dance for 450 guests.

The newlyweds will make their home on Rt. 3 Neillsville.
