Sepp, Diane Marie (Marriage - 1971)

Miss Diane Marie Sepp became the bride of Ray Allen Harms, Greenwood, during an 8 p.m. double-ring ceremony performed at Zion United Church of Christ in Greenwood by the Rev. David Logue. Parents of the bride are Mr. and Mrs. V. Mike Sepp of Rt. 1 Willard. The groom is the son of Mrs. Verna Harms, Greenwood, and F. David Harms of Monroe. Altar bouquets of white gladioli and daisies decorated the church as the bride was given in marriage by her father.

For her marriage, the new Mrs. Harms chose an Edwardian-style gown of imported rayon organza with re-embroidered Alencon lace, fashioned with trumpet sleeves. Her head was covered by a matching lace-edged mantilla veil. She carried a bouquet of white Cattelya orchids nested among white stephanotis and ivy and accented with white streamers.

Charlotte Fortuna was the maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Barbara Hardwig, Sharlee Harms, Ellen Kay Sepp, and Janet Leah Sepp. The bridal attendants wore A-line gowns of blue rose point lace with green accents. They carried crescent bouquets of white daisies with green streamers.

Robert Harms served as best man. Groomsmen were Gordon Christopherson, Ray Luedtke and Robert Sepp. Burdell Nielsen was the organist.

A reception for 100 guests was held later at the Hacienda Club west of Neillsville.

The newlyweds are on a wedding trip to San Diego, Calif., where they will make their home. The groom, presently stationed with the Navy at Great lakes, Ill., is a 1969 graduate of Greenwood High School, which the bride also attended.
