Miss Edith Stroinski, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Stroinski, Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.), and Mr. Edward Nowicki, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Nowicki, Gilman, were united in holy matrimony on June 27, 1970.

The bride entered the church on the arm of her father wearing a full hoop floor length gown of rice paper and Chantilly lace. The gown was trimmed with a high neckline and lon glace lady bishop sleeves. The skirt had tiers of lace down the front, giving it an apron effect. A detachable should chapel train was trimmed with Chantilly lace. Her headpiece was a petal of organza and Chantilly lace with pearl and sequin trim, with a bouffant silk illusion veil.
