Krause, Tammara Dee (1 August 1981)

Pastor Crane of the Farmington, Minnesota, Bible Baptist Church performed a double-ring ceremony uniting Tammara Dee Krause and Michael Allen Gallion on Saturday afternoon, August 1, in a Red Wing, Minnesota, hotel.

Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Krause and Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Gallion, all of Red Wing. Grandparents attending the wedding included Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Gallion of Isle, Minnesota; Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lindow of Chili; and Mrs. Raynold Krause and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Ide, all of Red Wing. Also attending was Anna Graham, the bride’s great-grandmother of Red Wing.

Soloist for the nuptials was Dwight Weniger, accompanied by Karen Bowen.

Michelle Krause, a sister of the bride, was the maid of honor. She was joined by Kathy McRae, the groom’s sister of Elmwood, Illinois, and Jody Ide, a cousin of the bride from Red Wing. The bride’s personal attendant was Kelly Street of White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

Kenneth Gallion, the groom’s brother of Red Wing, was the best man. He was joined by Timothy Gallion, another brother from Red Wing, and David McRae, a brother-in-law of Elmwood. Ushering were Kevin and Kerry Ide, cousins of the bride from Red Wing.

The bride chose a floor-length organza gown, trimmed in Chantilly lace and finished with a chapel train. Her veil of French tule was attached to a lace-trimmed caplet and was of fingertip length. She carried a bouquet of white sweetheart roses, baby’s breath and blue miniature carnations. Her attendants wore floor-length gowns with flue flowers and carried bouquets of pink, yellow, blue and white carnations and wore blue miniature carnations in their hair.

A reception for 200 guests was held at the Red Wing National Guard Armory. The couple then left on a trip to Northern Minnesota. They were to make their home in Bemidji, Minnesota.
