Wilczek, Theresa (29 JUL 1967)

Miss Theresa Wilczek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wilczek of Rural Route 1, Withee (Clark Co., Wis.), became the bride of Kenneth J. Salvack, son of Mrs. Bernice Salvack of Rural Route 1, Thorp, on Saturday, July 29, 1967, at St. Hedwig's Chapel in Thorp. Rev. Rather Edward Masalewicz officiated at the ten a.m. Nuptial Mass.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, chose a luxurious floor length bridal gown of Chantilly lace styled with long traditional tapered sleeves and a Sabrina neckline complemented by an array of pearls and sequins on a lace fitted bodice. The bouffant skirt featured a straight panel encircled with tiers of ruffled lace sweeping into a chapel train.

A queen's crown of pearls and crystal drops secured her lace appliqued bouffant veil of imported English silk illusion.

She carried a traditional bouquet of white roses and stephanotis, centered with a cluster of tiny sweetheart roses.

Mary Ann Lauer, served her sister as matron of honor and Rose Mary Wilczek, also a sister of the bride, was the bridesmaid. They wore mint green crepe floor length dresses fashioned with a slight scoop neckline and an empire waistline accented with a band of white daisies. Interest was created by straight skirts enhanced with fullness at the back and finished with a center self-bow. They wore matching headpieces and carried a cascade bouquet of pink and white carnations, centered with pink sweethearts.

Jerome Wilczek, brother of the bride, served as best man, and Patrick Pabich, cousin of the groom, was groomsman. Ushers were Jerry Micke and Francis Wilczek.

The bride's mother wore a two piece, pink double knit suit complemented by white accessories to complete her daytime outfit. She appeared in a light blue lace dress for the evening. The groom's mother wore a mint green silk dress accented by her white accessories. Both ladies also wore corsages of white carnations and pink sweetheart roses.

The wedding dinner, reception and dance were held at St. Hedwig's Parish Hall.

After a short wedding trip, the new Mr. and Mrs. Salvack will make their home in the rural Thorp area.
