The bride’s gown of Marcaine trimmed with Venice lace was styled with a Queen Anne neckline, long, fitted sleeves, crescent waistline and softly gathered skirt flowing into a chapel trin. Her matching lace Camelot headpiece held a full length mantilla veil. Large yellow roses, baby’s breath and ivy formed her bouquet.

Laurie Geier, Sparta, was the bride’s honor attendant. Bridesmaids were Rosemary Ziegler and Linda Ziegler of Sparta. Leann Beaver of Onalaska and Marla Larsen of Eau Claire. Their lemon yellow gowns were fashioned similarly to the bride’s. They carried arrangements of yellow tea roses and baby’s breath.

James Larsen, Eau Claire, served as bestman, with John Kapusta of Lake Elmo, Mn., Jeff Berendes of Sparta, Randy Thimmesch of Marshfield and LeRoy Karnatz if Menomonie as groomsmen. Ushering duties were shared by Donald Kuderer and James Mashak.
