Kaczor, Julie Ann (Marriage - 21 July 1973)

Wedding vows were exchanged July 21 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville by Miss Julie Ann Kaczor and Timothy William Smith. The Rev. Charles D. Brady officiated at the 12:30 p.m. ceremony. The bride, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Kaczor of Rt. 2 Neillsville, was presented in marriage by her father. Mr. and Mrs. Ivan W. Smith, Rt. 1 Onalaska, are the groom’s parents.

For her marriage, the former Miss Kaczor chose a gown of nylon organza trimmed at the waist and bodice with Venise lace and reembroidered lace. The dress was styled with a scoop neckline, full, bishop sleeves and a full Venise lace trimmed skirt sweeping into a chapel-length train. Her fingertip veil was trimmed with reembroidered lace. Yellow roses and white carnations formed a colonial bouquet.

Bridal aids were Linda L. Schoen of Eau Claire as honor attendant and Pat Schoen and Darla Kaczor of Neillsville, Judy Shove of La Crosse and Norma Anderson of Crystal, Mn, as bridesmaids. Their halter-top gowns of pastel blue, green and gold print were complimented by arrangements of blue, white and gold carnations.

The groom was attended by Lawrence Shove, La Crosse, as bestman and mark Smith on Onalaska, Gary Miller of Neillsville, Robert Popenhagen of La Crosse and John McCann of Holmen as groomsmen. Daniel J. Kaczor of Neillsville and Thomas A. Smith of Onalaska served as ushers.

Soloist Randy Dillinger was accompanied by Lindsay Taliferrio on the organ.

Bali Hai supper club was the setting for the reception.

Her husband is a 1971 graduate of Onalaska High School and is an employee of a Holmen equipment company. A home in La Crosse awaits the newlyweds.
