The Rev. Dan Wilger officiated at the Saturday afternoon, October 9, nuptial rites at St. John’s Catholic Church in Marshfield for Debbie Lee Slark and Brian Lee Bredlau, both of Owen. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Richard Slark, Rt. 1 Granton, and Mr. and Mrs. Bredlau, Owen.

She carried a cascade of silk white roses, light lavender miniature carnations and lavender forget-me-nots. Her attendants wore formals in a huckleberry color with matching jackets; they carried nosegays of lavender carnations, daisies and forget-me-nots. They also wore matching hair pieces.
