Sutton, Lois Mae (23 February 1980)

Lois Mae Sutton and Mark Daniel Finstad, both of Eau Claire, were united in marriage in a 4:00 p.m. double ring ceremony performed by the Rev. Victor Thieste at the Pinehurst Lutheran Church in Eau Claire, Saturday, February 23. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. James Sutton of Merrillan and Mr. and Mrs. Bjarne Finstad of Strum.

For her wedding the bride chose a gown of ivory acetate and nylon with white accents and lace. She wore baby’s breath tucked in her hair and carried white carnations and baby’s breath.

Kathleen Cran served her sister as maid of honor and Mary Welch was the bridesmaid. They appeared in gowns of maroon polyester, and each carried a large white mum.

Lynn Finstad, the groom’s brother, was bestman and David Kunes was groomsman. Tim Collins and Colin Severson seated the guests.

A reception was held in the church parlors and the wedding dance was held at the Eau Claire V.F.W. Hall. The couple will reside in Eau Claire.
