Now at home in Milwaukee at 4601 S. First St. are newlyweds of Saturday afternoon, , January 30, 1971, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas William Rastall.

At 3 o'clock that day in the Missionary Baptist Church, Greenwood, Miss Marilyn Joy Branstiter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Branstiter, route 2, Greenwood (Clark Co., Wis.), and the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Rastall, Onalaska, repeated their marriage vows.

The Rev. LeRoy C. Gross officiated, and Miss Sandy Olson, La Crosse, was organist.

Coming before the altar with her father, Miss Branstiter wore a floor length gown of white taffeta, organdy and Italian lace. Her double-tiered illusion veiling was attached to a beaded Italian lace cap, and white chrysanthemums formed her bouquet.

Attendants of the couple were, matron of honor, Mrs. Janet Branstiter of Rockford, Illinois, and best man, Lynn Hegg, Chicago. Harold Branstiter of Rockford and Richard Rastall of Onalaska did ushering duties.

Miss Branstiter wore a floor length lavender crepe and velvet gown in empire styled, and had a bouquet of deep violet Alyssum.

After the church service a reception and supper took place in the church basement.

Mrs. Rastall graduated from Greenwood High School in 1969 and has been employed at St. Francis Hospital, La Crosse. Her husband graduated from Onalaska High School and is a policeman with the Milwaukee Police Department.
