Tibbett, Patricia (25 June 1977)

Miss Patricia Tibbett became the bride of Timothy Schrader of Eau Claire in a 2 p.m. ceremony performed
Saturday, June 25, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville by the Rev. Joseph Henseler. A reception followed at the American Legion Hall. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Tibbett, Rt.3 Neillsville and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Schrader, RT. 6, Menomonie.

For her wedding day, the bride chose a sleeveless, empire-waist gown of chiffon over satin accented with lace flower appliques and fashioned with a low, round neckline with chiffon inset trimmed with ruffles. Her headpiece of a daisy medallion trimmed cap held a daisy appliqued veil. She carried a cascade of white and yellow silk flowers with baby’s breath as she was presented in marriage by her father.

Lori Meihack, maid of honor, and Bev. Tibbett, bridesmaid and sister of the bride, appeared in light green knit, polyester empire-style slip dresses with cord straps topped with matching capes. Their heads were covered with white wide-brimmed straw hats trimmed with green ribbon. Colonial bouquets of yellow and white silk flowers completed their ensembles.
