Wuethrich, Diane J. (Marriage - 6 August 1966)

Candelabra and bouquets of white gladioli decorated the mantel piece in the bride’s home in Greenwood for the wedding Saturday of Miss Diane J. Wuethrich of Greenwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Wuethrich and Phillip O. Mattes of Thorp, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Mattes, Sr.

The Rev. Robert Olson officiated at the 8:30 p.m. ceremony. 

For her wedding, the bride wore a mauve raw silk imported dress with Swiss lace trim, styled with an Empire waist that topped the A-line skirt. A pillbox hat held her blush veil. She carried a bouquet of lavender and white chrysanthemums.

Mrs. Daniel Winger of Cadott was matron-of-honor.  She wore a floral floor length gown fashioned with an Empire waistline.  Her bouquet was made up of pale lavender chrysanthemums.

Marvin Verkuillan of Thorp was best man. Dallas Wuethrich was the usher.

Mrs. Vern Dahlby sang, “The Wedding Prayer” and “The Lord’s Prayer” accompanied at the organ by Mrs. Don Warner.

A 1960 graduate of Greenwood High School, the bride has attended Wisconsin State Universities at Eau Claire and River Falls.  Mr. Mattes, a 1960 graduate of Thorp High School, attended Wisconsin State University-Whitewater and is a livestock buyer.
