Baldeschwiler, Janet M. (19 SEP 1970)

St. Hedwig's Chapel, Thorp, was the scene of the marriage of Janet M. Baldeschwiler and Robert F. Lesniewski on Saturday, September 19, 1970. Father William Matzek performed the 1:30 p.m. nuptial mass and marriage ceremony.

The bride, given in marriage by her parents, wore a white silk organza gown styled with scoop neckline and empire bodice, with short sleeves. Alencon lace detailed the font of the bodice, the sleeves and train which fell gracefully from the back. A crown of Chantilly lace with pearl trim held her elbow length veil of silk illusion. She carried a bouquet of white roses and stephanotis with pink ribbon streamers.

Mrs. Marge Harrington was her sister's matron of honor, and bridesmaids were: Miss Kris Kojis, friend and the bride, and Mary Ann Lesniewski, sister of the groom. They wore floor length dresses of violet crepe, styled collarless front seam interest and slight lowered round necklines with elbow length sleeves. Each carried bouquets of pink miniature carnations, white daisy mums with velvet ribbon streamers, and wore pink miniature carnations for headpieces.

Richard Lesniewski was his brother's best man, and groomsmen were: Kermit Frazier, friend of the groom, and Michael Kobylarczyk, cousin of the groom. Ushers were Leo Sondgeroth and George Possley, cousins of the bride and groom, respectively.
