Papierniak, Barbara G. (8 JUL 1967)

On Saturday, July 8, 1967, Barbara Gail Papierniak and Charles Edward Jankoski were united in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony at St. Hedwig's Chapel, Thorp. Father Edward Masalewicz performed the Nuptial High Mass. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Ted Papierniak of Thorp and Mr. and Mrs. Clayborne Jankoski of Stanley. Miss Jerilyn Papierniak of Minneapolis was her sister's maid of honor, and Miss Joan Wolowick of Wausau, a cousin of the bride, was the bridesmaid. Serving as best man was David Jankowski, the groom's brother, while Jon Logan, Stanley, a friend of the groom, was the groomsman. The ushers were Jon Papierniak, the bride's brother, and Roger Mathison, Stanley, a friend of the couple. Miss Susan Wolowick, Boyd, a cousin of the bride, was the soloist.

For her wedding, the bride chose a floor length cage of sheer organza over a crepe sheath, fashioned with a long tapering sleeves and high scoop neckline. Daisy chains and appliques of Venice lace decked the slim silhouette, highlighting the removable train. A garland of daisies framed her face, securing her short bouffant veil. She carried a bouquet of glomelias and ivy.

The bridesmaids wore light green floor length sleeveless dresses of dotted Swiss styled as semi-cages. Their headpieces were clusters of fresh daisy mums, which also comprised their bouquets.

A dinner and reception for 225 guests were held at St. Hedwig's Parish Hall.

After a wedding trip around Lake Michigan, Mr. and Mrs. Jankoski are residing at 2400 W. Larpenteur Av., St. Paul. Charles is a graduate student in Business Administration at the Univ. of Minn., and Gail is employed as Cytotechnologist at St. Mary's Hospital in Minneapolis.
