Waukesha Bride Has Large Church Wedding on Thanksgiving Day

A lovely Thanksgiving day wedding occurred at Trinity Lutheran church, Thursday afternoon, when Miss Lois Josephine Rieve, daughter of Mrs. Caroline Rieve, 724 Maple Ave., became the bride of Raymond E. Ehlers, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Ehlers, town of Lisbon.

The ceremony was performed at 3 o'clock by the Rev. Henry Woyahn, pastor of Grace English Lutheran church. A 15-minute organ recital was given by Harold Gaspar, who also played the Bridal Chorus from "Lohengrin" and the Wedding March of Mendelssohn. Miss Mona Woyahn sang "Because".

The bride wore white satin with inserts of lace in the sleeves and the sweetheart neckline. The gown was fashioned in princess style with a long train. An especially attractive feature about the long tulle veil edged in lace, was the use of real orange blossoms sent in time for the wedding by Mrs. Rose Van Tassel, Roscoe, Calif. The veil which belonged to the groom's sister, fell from a pearl tiara. White roses and white pompoms made the shower bouquet.

Mrs. La Vern Schmul, Sussex, sister of the groom, was maid of honor, wearing dusty rose velvaray taffeta in princess fashion with matching tiara and brief veil. Her colonial bouquet was of pink and white pompoms.

Three bridesmaids were also in attendance. They were: Miss Irene Mamerow, Milwaukee, cousin of the bride; Miss Lorraine Baum, West Allis, and Miss Josephine Schmitz, Pewaukee, friends of the bride. They were dressed alike in peacock blue velvaray taffeta, princess style with matching tiaras and brief veils. They carried colonial bouquets of yellow and bronze pompoms.

The little flower girl was Marilyn Rushmer in a dainty frock of pink taffeta and carrying pink and white pompoms. The ring bearer was Charles Wiedeman, Pewaukee, in a navy suit.

Both the bride's and the groom's mothers wore plum crepe with corsages of yellow and bronze pompoms.

La Vern Schmul, Sussex, cousin of the bride, was best man and the ushers were Adolph Hohn, Frank Keller, Milwaukee, and Elmer Schneeberg, Brown Deer, cousin of the groom.

A wedding dinner for 30 relatives and close friends occurred at the bride's home after the ceremony. Thursday evening a reception for 150 guests was held at the Keesus pavilion.

After a short wedding trip, the bride and groom will reside at 724 Maple Ave.

 The bride is a graduate of Waukesha high school and has been employed as clerk at the Wisconsin Telephone company. The groom is employed at Menomonee Falls.

 Parties were given for the bride recently by the Mmes. William Mamerow, David Ehlers, La Vern Schmul, W. B. Kowenstrot, Harold Ruckmer, Joe Kurzhals, Misses Josephine Schmitz and Lorraine Baum.

Stone - Anstey

A simple but pretty wedding took place at the Sussex Methodist church at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 21, when Beulah Stone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Stone of Sussex exchanged marriage vows with Conrad Anstey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Anstey of Hartland, in a candlelight service.

The bride, who walked to the altar on the arm of her father, was attired in a gown of white transparent velvet fitted with bodice, sweetheart neckline, wrist length sleeves and short flowing train. Her finger-tip veil of white tulle fell from a shirred coronet. She wore a gold locket set with diamonds, a gift from the groom. The bridal bouquet was white roses and baby breath.

The bride's only attendant was her sister, Miss Betty Stone, of Kansas City, Mo., who was dressed in powder blue faille with Peter Pan collar and tiny pockets trimmed with pink and gold sequins. She wore a Juliet cap with a blush veil to match her gown. Her bouquet consisted of pink carnations, white pompoms and baby breath.

The groom was attended by his brother, Charles Anstey of Mapleton. The ushers were Dave Kazmerchak of Milwaukee, brother-in-law of the bride, and Dart Anstey of Ashippun, brother of the groom.

The ceremony which was performed by the Rev. De Selms, was preceded by an organ prelude played by Elmer Kurtz  and the songs, "I Love You Truly" and "Oh Promise Me", were sung by the Rev. Millen. Lohengrin's Wedding March was played by the bride's 11-year old niece, Janet Gosnell, of Milwaukee, and the recessional by Mr. Kurtz.

The only decorations were the candelabra and two very large bouquets of white chrysanthemums at the altar. Miss June Grenwis, dressed in an old rose taffeta lit the candles.

After a brief honeymoon to the Twin Cities, the newlyweds will reside in the village of Hartland pending completion of their new home on East Capitol drive near the village. Waukesha Freeman, December 25, 1940
