Miller, Janet L. (3 Dec 1976)

Wedding vows were exchanged between Janet L. Miller and Douglas G. Kops at the 7:30 nuptial Mass held in St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Colby, on Friday evening, December 3, 1976. The Rev. Frank Rushman officiated at the double ring ceremony. Organ music was provided by Penny Hinke. Paula Kops, sister of the groom, sang “The Wedding Song.”

Parents of the newlyweds are Mr. and Mrs. Leo D. Miller, Colby, and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Kops, Unity.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, approached the altar in a gown of imported white silk organza fashioned with a lace edged cathedral train. The bishop sleeves, sheer pearl encrusted bodice and hemline were of Belgium lace and hand embroidered flowers trimmed with dainty ruffles of Alencon lace on the wrists and neckline. Also she wore a matching fingertip lace Camelot headpiece. She carried a cascade arrangement of pink roses, white carnations, baby’s breath and English ivy streamers.

Her maid of honor, Terra Calley, and bridesmaid, Rona Will, wore matching gowns of emerald green double knit trimmed with ruffled beige lace at the neckline and wrist. Each carried a single long stemmed pink rose with satin wrapped stems and beige ribbon streamers.

Serving the groom as best man was Don Jablonicky, Unity, and the groomsman were Greg Gaulke, Colby. Performing as ushers were Brad Kops and John Miller, brothers of the bride and bridegroom.

A reception and dance were held at the VFW Clubhouse following the ceremony.
