Izydorek, Raeleen M. (21 JAN 1967)

St. Bernard's Catholic Church, Thorp, was the scene for the marriage of Raeleen Mary Izydorek and Robert Wayne Cloutier on Saturday, Jan. 21st, 1967. Rev. Francis Brockman performed the eleven a.m. Nuptial High Mass and marriage ceremony. Marcy Badzinski sang "Ave Maria" and "Mother at Your Feet We're Kneeling."

Parents of the couple are Mr. Raymond V. Izydorek, Thorp, and Mr. and Mrs. Marvin J. Cloutier, Minneapolis.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, chose a floor length bridal gown of Angu mist taffeta, styled with long tapered sleeves and a scoop neckline, complementing the fitted lace bodice. The bouffant skirt was highlighted by a court train of taffeta featuring an insert of lace. Pearl edged loops of lace fashioned her cloche, securing a bouffant veil of silk illusion. Her bouquet consisted of a lovely bridal cascade of eucharis lilies and forever roses.

Miss Sandee Izydorek, cousin of the bride, was maid of honor, and bridesmaids were Diane Badzinski, Twyla Herman and Sandy Baures, all friends of the bride. They wore floor length sheaths of white crepe, fashioned with an Empire bodice of red velvet.
