Bensen, Mabel R. (3 December 1977)
The United Church of Christ, Neillsville, was the setting for the December 3
wedding of Mabel R. Bensen, River Falls, daugher of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph J.
Bensen, Rt. 3 Neillsville, and Michael J. Doherty, River Falls, son of Mr. and
Mrs. James P. Doherty, Oconomowoc. The Rev. Gary Clark was the officiating
minister for the 2:00 p.m. ceremony. The wedding reception took place at the
Wildcat Inn, Neillsville.
Presented in marriage by her father, the bride appeared in a hooded, yoked dress
of eyelet and plain muslin, designed and made by herself. She carried a single
red rose.
Cindy A. Becker, Eau Claire, was the maid of honor and Gayle L. Olson, River
Falls, was the bridesmaid. Both carried a single yellow rose.
The groom was attended by Patrick J. Doherty, River Falls, as bestman, and Joe
Buonecore, River Falls, as groomsman. Gary and Shawn Doherty were the ushers.
Pianist Cheri Diers played the Processional. Morning Has Broken” was sung by the
bride between the pledge and the exchange of rings. Tim Doherty sang “Aren’t
They a Beautiful Pair.”
