Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Noel Olson, Rt. 2 Loyal, and Mr. and Mrs. Norman Wolf of Loyal.

All of the bride’s party were from Loyal except for Loir Taylor of Spencer and Suzanne Brostowitz of Port Edwards.

On the groom’s side, Lyle Wolf, the groom’s brother, was bestman. He was joined by Joe Wolf, brother of the groom; Save Deegan, brother-in-law of the groom; Bob Olson and Richard Olson, brothers of the bride; Jay Gardner and Todd Spindler, cousins of the groom; and Randy Wolf, uncle of the groom. All were from Loyal except for Spindler of rural Marshfield. Ushering were Mike Olson, brother of the bride, and Tim Olson, cousin of the bride, both of Loyal. Billy Wolf, a brother of the groom, was ringbearer while Heather Olson, a sister of the bride, was flowergirl.
