Mayer, Cheryl Mae (7 January 1984)

The Rev. Joseph Henseler officiated at the Saturday early afternoon, January 7, wedding rites for Cheryl May Mayer and David Douglas Larsen. St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville was the site for the exchange of vows. Parents of the couple are Harold and Janice Mayer, 1407 Grand Ave., Neillsville, and Douglas and Carolyn Larson, Rt. 2 Neillsville.

Music at the serviced was offered by Ronald Resong on the organ and Dawn Thoma and Stacey Holt as vocalists.

Serving as matron of honor was Susan Schulz the bride’s sister of Greenwood. She was joined by Carla Larsen and Linda Larsen, both sisters of the groom, and Janice Wagner and June Christie, friends of the bride; all are from Neillsville.

Best man was John Chadwick, the groom’s cousin of Greenwood. He was joined by friend Mark Toelle, the bride’s brother Mark Mayer and friends Tom Hagen and Mike Toelle; all from Neillsville.

The bride chose a Chantilly lace gown featuring a high neckline, bishop sleeves, Victorian bodice and yoke accented with soft ruffle and sweeping train. She also wore a small, brimmed hat with veil and carried a bouquet of blue and white silk roses accented with baby’s breath. Her attendants wore floor-length gowns of lustra knit fabric in marigot blue and featuring cape sleeves, tiers of chiffon accenting the bodice and matching jackets. They carried arm bouquets of flub and white roses with baby’s breath. The groom was attired in a white tuxedo while his attendants wore silver gray tuxedos.

Following the serviced, a reception was held at the Neillsville American Legion Hall. The couple declined to announce their wedding trip plans.
