Makovec, Marilyn K. (6 Dec 1975)

Wedding vows were exchanged in a reverent ceremony at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Owen, Wisconsin, between Marilyn K. Makovec and Kim L. Frederickson, both of Storm Lake. Father James E. Coke untied the couple in a double ring ceremony at 2 p.m., December 6, 1975. Nuptial music was provided by Rowene Mahoney at the organ and Karen Pearson, vocal soloist.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Makovec and Mrs. Theone Frederickson are parents of the couple.

Given in marriage by her parents, the bride was elegant in an empire style floor length gown of soft white jersey, styled with a monk’s hood edged with a band of white for framing her face. A band of fur edged the cuffs of the long fitted sleeves. A row of tiny covered buttons from the neck to the waistline accented the back of the bodice. A long train flowed gracefully back from the gown. The bridal bouquet was an arrangement of miniature red roses, stephanotis and baby’s breath and trailing ivy.

The bride’s sister, Lori Makovec of Owen, was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Cindy Mohr, Menomonie, Wis., Bonnie Stern of Storm Lake, sister of the groom, and Gayle Frederickson, Iowa City, sister of the groom. The bride’s niece, Chris Wolf, of Wausau, Wis., was flower girl.

The groom was attended by his brothers, Jeff Frederickson as best man, Randy Frederickson of Owen, Rodney Frederickson of Stanley, Wis., and Kurt Frederickson of Owen. Mike Stern of Storm Lake, a nephew of the groom, was ring bearer. Serving as ushers were Brad Snydengaard of Manchester, nephew of the groom, and Lynn Hodnett of Owen, Wisconsin.

Before leaving on their wedding trip to Denver and Colorado Springs, they were honored at a wedding dinner in the church dining room and a reception at the Sword, Colby, Wis.

The new Mrs. Frederickson is a 1973 graduate of Owen-Withee High School, and attended North Central Technical Institute in Wausau for one year. She has been employed as a secretary at First National Bank of Denver. She is now employed by Pendleton & Pendleton law firm in Storm Lake.
