Fredrickson, Anita M. (2 DEC 1967)

Miss Anita Marie Fredrickson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Fredrickson, 722 N. Franklin St., Stanley, was given in marriage by her father to Clarence James Turenne, son of Mrs. Mildred Turenne, 413 W. Main St., Thorp, during a 12 o'clock noon nuptial ceremony, Saturday, Dec. 2 at St. Bernard's Church, performed by the Rev. Francis Brockman. Bouquets of royal blue carnations and white gladioli graced the altar.

The bride entered the church wearing a floor length gown of peau taffeta enhanced with appliques of re-embroidered Alencon lace. The A-line skirt was highlighted by a removable Watteau that swept into a chapel train. Her bouffant veil of sheer illusion was secured to a double crown of pearl crystals. She carried a cascade of white roses and carnations.

Mrss. Kenneth Goodman, sister of the bride, was matron of honor. Miss Julie Wald, friend of the bride, and Miss Toni Lobacz, niece of the groom, served as bridesmaids. They wore royal blue velvet floor length gowns that were enhanced by a back panel of satin. Their empire waist featured three quarter length sleeves with ruffles of Venetian lace.

Each wore a pillbox of bunny fur, to which short veils were attached. Each carried a cascade bouquet of white roses and royal blue carnations on white bunny fur muffs.

The bride's mother wore a royal blue and white suit. She was presented with a corsage of white roses and blue carnations. The groom's mother was presented with a corsage of yellow roses and wore a brown suit.

Best man was Kenneth Goodman, brother-in-law of the bride. The groomsmen were Walter Lobacz, nephew of the groom, and Ronnie Fredrickson, brother of the bride. Ushers were Kenneth Lukasiewicz of Janesville and Gary Klewicki of Cudahy, both friends of the groom.

The wedding reception and dinner were held following the ceremony, for relatives. A wedding dance and reception were held for friends in the evening at St. Hedwig's Hall at Thorp. Mrs. Dale Fredrickson, cousin of the bride, was hostess of the reception, and Miss Carol and Susie Lobacz were in charge of the guest book.

The couple flew to New Orleans for their wedding trip.
