Unger Janet (18 SEP 1965)

Miss Janet Unger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Unger, Owen (Clark Co., Wis.), was united in marriage to Melvin J. Skaleski, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Skaleski of Green Bay on Saturday, Sept. 18th, 1965 at 11:30 a.m. nuptial High Mass. Father H.L. Crubel performed the ceremony in the Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Owen, before an altar decorated with white gladioli and garden flowers.

The bride was given in marriage by her father and the children’s choir of the church rendered the music.

For her wedding the bride chose a floor length sheath of satin brocade with feathered long sleeves and a chapel train. Her three tiered bouffant veil was attached to a rose headpiece.
