Kraschnewski, Marilyn V. (17 SEP 1955)
Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church at Medford, decorated with two trees fashioned of bronze and yellow chrysanthemums, interspersed with maiden hair fern, edged with silver bells and two large vases of gladioli on the altar steps, was the scene of the nuptial ceremony, during which Miss Marilyn Verone Kraschnewski, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Kraschnewski, route 1, Medford, became the bride of Billy Lee Trindal, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Trindal of Loyal (Clark Co., Wis.) . The Rev. A. J. Engel was officiant.

The scoop neckline was scalloped and the sleeves were short with gauntlets to match. The fingertip veil of nylon tulle was attached to a crown of tiny rhinestone centered peaks.
