Lautenbach, Marjorie Ann (Marriage - 26 January 1974)

Marriage vows were exchanged Saturday, January 26, at Zion American Lutheran Church in the Town of Grant by Miss Marjorie Ann Lautenbach and Joseph Dwayne Felser. The Rev. Richard Eggen officiated at the 3 p.m. ceremony.

The bride, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Lautenbach, Rt. 2 Granton, was presented in marriage by her father. Mr. and Mrs. Dwayne Felser, Neillsville, are the groom’s parents.

Former Miss Lautenbach chose a gown of silk satin with Nottingham lace forming the high-necked, ruffled yoke, long sleeves and belt of the empire bodice. The lace was repeated in a deep flounce on the skirt and attached chapel train. Seed pears and lace clusters accented the dress. A matching lace Camelot cap and lace-edged fingertip veil completed her ensemble. She carried a cascade arrangement of red and pink roses, baby’s breath and stephanotis with long ribbon streamers.

Ruby red velvet accented with white lace trim formed the long-sleeved gowns of Miss Dianne Lautenbach of Granton, maid of honor, and Miss Kathleen Felser of Neillsville and Miss Elsie Garbisch of Granton, bridesmaids. Their colonial bouquets of white miniature mums and pink roses complimented floral headpieces of similar mums.

Larry Strangfeld served as bestman and Don Schnabel and Tom Short, as groomsmen. All are of Neillsville. Ushers were Matt Hemp, Neillsville, and Rick Tucker, Madison.

Fay Lautenbach, Hillpoint, and Kim Marie Marg, Turtle Lake, were flower girls.

Miss Marjorie Schlinsog was the organist, and Miss Susan Dudei, the soloist.

Bali Hai supper club was the setting for a reception, dinner and dance.

The bride was honored at prenuptial showers at the home of Mrs. Dennis Spiegel and at the home of Miss Elsie Garbisch where Miss Margie Schlinsog was the co-hostess.

A graduate of Granton High School and of Mid-state Technical School at Marshfield, the new Mrs. Felser is employed at the Neillsville Clinic. Her husband graduated from Neillsville High School and is employed as an auto mechanic for a local motor company.

Following their return from a wedding trip to an undisclosed location, the couple will live at Grand View Terrace, Neillsville.
