Feldbruegge, Kristine Mary (Marriage – 24 August 1974)

Miss Kristine Mary Feldbruegge, Marshfield, and Jeffery James Seefeld, Unity, were married August 24, at St. Louis Catholic Church, Dorchester, by the Rev. Jacob Burggraf. The 1;30 p.m. ceremony was followed by a reception, dinner and dance at the Dorchester Memorial Hall.

The bride, presented in marriage by her parents, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Feldbruegge, of Dorchester. Mr. and Mrs. Dale Seefeld, of Unity are the groom’s parents.

A cascade arrangement of white Cattleya orchids, coral roses and butterscotch pompons accented with ivy highlighted the traditional bridal gown of satapeau fashioned with a molded bodice and A-line skirt flowing into a full, circular chapel length train. A matching Camelot headpiece with elbow length veil was styled by the bride.

Bridal attendants were: Mrs. Roseanne Sypniewski, Wheeling, Il., as matron-of-honor, and Mrs. Carol Kuehling, Unity, Mrs. Carolyn Witzel, Marshfield, and Mrs. Dee Feldbruegge, Marietta, Ga., as bridesmaids. They appeared in high waisted, puff-sleeved gowns of yellow and green floral print chiffon featuring ruffles at the neckline and skirt hemline. Green satin ribbons trimmed the dresses and accompanying yellow picture hats. Each carried a nosegay of coral roses, butterscotch pompons and green and white daisy pompons.

Ronnie Schmitt, Colby, served as bestman. Groomsmen were Denny Kuehling, Unity, Donald Feldbruegge, Rio, and Roger Feldbruegge, Marietta, Ga. Sharing ushering duties were Ronnie Schmitt and Roger Feldbruegge.

Vocal selections were by Miss Carleen Sillampa, and Chuck Ratzloff. Mrs. Karen Meyer was the organist.

A 1970 graduate of Colby High School, and a 1972 graduate of North Central Technical Institute, Wausau, in nursing, the bride is employed as a registered nurse working in surgery at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield. Her husband graduated from Colby High School in 1969, and from the automotive program of North Central Technical Institute in 1972. He was recently discharged after serving two years in the U. S. Army.

The couple will live in Marshfield upon returning from a wedding trip the South Dakota Badlands and Black Hills, Yellowstone National Park, and Glacier International Park.
