Borchardt, Judith (4 SEP 1971)

Miss Judith M. Borchardt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Borchardt, and Kenneth Krause, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Krause, Edgar, were married Saturday, September 4, 1971, in St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Stratford, at 1 p.m. The Rev. Cletus Abts officiated. The men’s choir of the church provided the nuptial music.

The Camelot bridal gown was designed with an empire bodice of lace, sleeves of lace and chiffon and a chiffon skirt. The bride’s mantilla train veil was bordered with matching lace and was secured to an organza layered bow headpiece. Her bouquet consisted of red roses, white carnations, and ivy.

Miss Mary Borchardt of Route 1, Edgar was her sister’s maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Miss Judy Klinger, Medford, and Miss Linda Krause, Edgar, cousin of the bridegroom.

Their chiffon formals were designed with ruffles and jabots on the lilac bodices, and wide velvet bands around the waistlines of the floral print skirts in shags of blue and lilac. They wore matching velvet bow headpieces and carried bouquets of white carnations and white stephanotis.

Ushers were Roger Belanger, Wausau and Jerome Borchardt, Edgar.

The reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents, and dinner was served in the church hall.
