Rohland, Teresa (22 JUL 1972)

The Rev. A.F. Hellert of Nazareth Lutheran Church, Withee, performed the double ring ceremony on Saturday, July 22, 1972, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which united Miss Teresa Rohland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmond Rohland of rural Withee (Clark Co., Wis.), and Gerald Rakovec, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Rakovec of rural Greenwood (Clark Co.). The bride's father escorted her to the altar, which was adorned with floral arrangements of white gladiolas and mums.

Soloist was Richard Steiner, accompanied by Miss Amber Nirva at the organ.

The bride's gown was floor length lace and white sheer trimmed with satin ribbon around the shoulder and under the bodice. Her three-tier floor length trailing veil was connected to a small cap made of lace. The gown was fashioned with long full sleeves with large cuffs. She carried a large round bouquet of summer mixed flowers and red roses with baby's breath.

They carried baskets of summer daisies with mums tipped to match each girl's gown.
