Burhop, Darlene C. (17 JUL 1965)
White Gladioli and roses adorned the altar of St. Katherine's Church when Miss
Darlene Clare Burhop was united in marriage to Mr. Joseph Justin Switzky on
Saturday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, July 17, 1965. The Rev. Richard Hewetson
performed the nuptial ceremony which was preceded by Diane Burhop singing "O
Perfect Love," accompanied by Mrs. William Klammer at the organ.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Burhop of Owen and has been
employed by American Family Insurance Company at Madison for the past two years.
The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Switzky of Madison, and is an
engineer aide employed by the state of Wisconsin Highway Commission.
When given in marriage by her father, the bride was attired in a floor length
gown of silk organza and Alencon lace taffeta and nylon net. The gown featured a
portrait neckline of scalloped lace trimmed in iridescent sequins, long tapered
sleeves and snug fitted bodice. A full bouffant skirt with appliqued lace and
full sweeping back with tiers of lace designed into a chapel train. Her princes
crown of aurora crystals was secured by a waist length veil of imported English
silk illusion. She carried a spray of white and pink roses entwined with ivy.
Miss Diane Burhop, sister of the bride, was the maid of honor and Miss Georgia
Johnson, a close friend of the bride from Madison, served as bridesmaid. They
were gowned in apple green de-lustered floor length peau de soie gowns designed
with snug bodice and scooped neckline. The un-pressed pleated bell top skirts
were accented with a Watteau panel back. Large matching cabbage roses, from
which a nosegay veil was attached adorned their heads. They wore tiny white
gloves and carried colonial boquets of white roses and carnations with green
fern.
Attending the groom as best man was Eugene Nelson of Madison, and groomsman was
Allan Burhop, the bride's brother.
Ushering were Kenneth Newberry, a close friend of the groom, from Madison, and
Robert Prock of Eau Claire.
Following the wedding a dinner was served in the church dining hall to about a
hundred guests. A reception was held also at the home of the bride. The
newlyweds are now on a trip to the eastern states, visiting Washington, D.C.,
New York and the World's Fair. They will be at home after two weeks at 2330
Allied Drive, Madison, Wis.
