Bielen, Susan Jean (Marriage – 26 June 1976)

Miss Susan Jean Bielen and Stephen Andrew Wolf exchanged marriage vows in a 2 p.m. ceremony solemnized Satruday, June 26, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, Loyal, by the Rev. Chester Osowski. A reception was held later at the Loyal American Legion Hall.

Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Alois J. Bielen, Rt. 1 Loyal, and Mr. and Mrs. Mathias F. Wold, Chili.

The bride’s gown of white Dacron organza with chapel train was styled with a molded bodice featuring a jewel neckline of venise lace and dimensional venise flowers, a round, sheer yoke circled with venise lace and an organza ruffle, and long, sheer, tapered sleeves. The waistline was trimmed with a lace-covered belt ending in long back streamers, and the deep flounce of an A-line skirt was defined with matching lace. A pearled venise cap centered with organza bows secured her lace-edged veil. Orange roses and baby’s breath formed the teardrop shape bouquet carried by Miss Bielen as she was presented in marriage by her father.

Miss Bernadette Schmidt, Loyal, was the maid of honor. Bridesmaids included Mrs. Alice Winkel, Oshkosh, and Miss Lois Bielen, Loyal. Their gowns of orange dotted voile with white venise lace accents were designed with detachable cape-sleeves. White picture hats and oval bouquets of white daisies and orange roses completed their costumes.

Attending the groom were Richard Wolf, Omro, as bestman and James Quelle, Boyd, and James Pachniak, Edgar, as groomsmen. David Bielen, Kenosha, and Ralph Wolf, Wisconsin Rapids, served as ushers.

Mathew Riesselmann, Kenosha, was the ringbearer and Sheila Winkel, Oshkosh, the flower girl. She was dressed identically to the bridal attendants.

Sharon Schoonover and Diane Anderegg sang. Gordy Denk was the guitarist and jodi Schoonover the organist.

The bride was honored at a prenuptial shower given June 5 by her attendants.

The new Mrs. Wolf graduated from Loyal High School in 1975 and is employed in Spencer. Her husband a 1973 graduate of Marshfield Senior High School, works for a shoe manufacturing firm in Marshfield.

They will live at 109-A E. Franklin in Marshfield after returning from a wedding trip to the southern part of the state.
