------ Wojner, Wendy Marie (18 JUN 1966)

Miss Wendy Marie Wojner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Valentine Wojner of Abbotsford, and Paul H. Kramas, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kramas Sr. of Curtiss, exchanged marriage promises Saturday, June 18.  The Rev. Raymond B. Schulz performed the ceremony at 3 o’clock at St. Bernard’s Catholic church.  Mrs. Dan Decker of Abbotsford provided nuptial organ music.

The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, was attired in a floor-length gown with a chapel train.  The fitted bodice of Chantilly lace featured a jewel trimmed Sabrina neckline and the full skirt of nylon sheer had a panel of wide lace down the front and was edged in wide lace at the hemline.  Her bouffant veil billowed from a queen’s crown of pearl and crystal.  Pink and white roses and white stephanotis were tied with long white streamers in a colonial arrangement for the bridal bouquet.

For her attendants, the bride chose as her maid of honor Miss Jo Ann Marie Kramas of Curtiss, a sister of the groom, and her cousin, Miss Roberta Marie Pecora of Chicago, the three of them having the middle name of Marie in common.

Their floor-length gowns were mint green rayon georgette over acetate taffeta.  Brief nylon lace jackets with three-quarter length sleeves were worn over the sleeveless gowns that had rhinestone straps.  They carried bouquets centered with lilac carnations and surrounded by white carnations with mint tinted centers and tied with satin ribbons.

Larry Jeske of Curtiss, as best man, and Roger Wojner of Abbotsford, brother of the bride, completed the wedding party.

Jerry Wojner of Abbotsford and Dave Kramas of Stanley were the ushers at the wedding.

Festivities of the wedding day included a reception at the home of the bride’s parents, supper at the Colby Hotel, and dance at Cherokee park.

Milwaukee will be the home of the new Mr. and Mrs. Kramas.  He is employed as a sheet metal apprentice.

Guests at the wedding came from Bensonville, Lombard and Chicago, Ill., Milwaukee, West Alis, Curtiss, Abbotsford, Colby, Dorchester, Stanley, Thorp, Owen, Withee, Cadott, Menomonee Falls, Oak Creek, New Berlin, Wis., and Rochester, Minn.
