Grassl, Kathleen H. (Marriage - 1 June 1968)

Miss Kathleen H. Grassl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Grassl, Jr., of Rt. 2 Auburndale, and Joseph G. Walter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Walter, Sr., of Rt. 2 Loyal, were married Saturday in St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Auburndale in a double ring ceremony performed by the Rev. Joseph Grassl.

Sister M. Innocentia played the organ as the St. Mary’s choir sang nuptial music. Bouquets of pompoms decorated the altar.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a full skirt of nylon sheer, styled with lace ruffles down the front and around the back. The all-lace bodice featured a scoop neckline trimmed with sequins. A sequin crown held her illusion veil. Red and white roses and stephanotis were included in the bridal bouquet.

Her maid-of-honor was Miss Karen Grassl of Auburndale. Bridesmaids were Mrs. Anthony Walter, Jr., of Loyal, Mrs. Myron Grassl of Wisconsin Rapids, Miss Janice Walter of Loyal, Miss Donna Grassl of Auburndale and Mrs. Delmaine Schwellenbach of Marshfield. Each was attired in a pink floor length gown and each carried a miniature tinted-pink carnation.

Anthony Walter, Jr., of Loyal was bestman. Groomsmen were George Pumper of Milladore, Myron Grassl of Wisconsin Rapids, Richard Pumper of Milladore, Raymond Grassl of Auburndale and Delmaine Schwellenbach of Marshfield. Ushers were Fred Pumper of Madison and Floyd Zopfi of Stratford.

The bride, a 1966 graduate of Auburndale High School, has been employed by the Weyerhauser Company in Marshfield. Mr. Walter is a 1962 graduate of Loyal High School and is engaged in farming. They will reside on Rt. 2 Loyal.
