Tibbett, Marjorie Ann (Marriage - 15 January 1972)

Miss Marjorie Ann Tibbett became the bride of Gary Eugene Zschernitz on Saturday, January 15, at 2 p.m. in a ceremony performed at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville by the Rev. Charles D. Brady. St. Mary’s choir sang and Miss Julie Knoff was the guest soloist.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Tibbett of Neillsville are the parents of the bride. The groom is the son of Mr and Mrs. Louis Zschernitz of Rt. 3 Neillsville.

For her marriage, the bride chose a floor-length empire-style gown of Sata peau. A flattering ruffle framed the cuffs of the cavalier-shaped sleeves and mandarin neckline. Chantilly lace embellished the demi-bell styling, highlighted by a sweeping chapel train. Her bouffant veil of sheer bridal illusion was secured by a Camelot headpiece of venise lace. She carried a nosegay of white roses, white mums and ivy as she was given in marriage by her father.

Miss Jill Ringstad of La Crosse was the maid-of-honor. Bridesmaid was Mrs. Thomas Tibbett of Racine. Both wore empire-styled gowns of midnight blue velvet fashioned with pale blue accents. Picture hats of midnight blue velvet completed their ensembles, which were highlighted by colorful nosegay bouquets.

Allan Zschernitz served as bestman. Groomsman was Thomas Tibbett of Racine. Ushers were John Tibbett and Terry Zschernitz.

The Wildcat Inn was the scene later for a reception and dance.

The bride, a 1971 graduate of Neillsville High School, has been employed in Marshfield. Her husband, also a Neillsville High School graduate, is employed by a Neillsville firm. The newlyweds will live in Neillsville.
