Haack, Mary L. (18 June 1977)

Zion United Church of Christ, Greenwood, was the scene of the June 18 wedding of a Middleton couple, Ms. Mary L. Haack and Larry L. Hendrickson. Officiating at the 2 p.m. ceremony were the Rev. David Logue, pastor, and the Rev. Robert Houston of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Greenwood.

The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Kenneth Meehan of Middleton. Mr. and Mrs. Art Hendrickson, Rt. 3 Greenwood, are the groom’s parents.

A colonial bouquet with roses, baby’s breath and yellow, blue and white daisies complimented the bride’s sleeveless gown of ivory polyester styled with lace accents at the neckline and arm area. She wore daisies and baby’s breath in her hair as she was presented in marriage by her brother-in-law, Larry Gorman of Madison.

Debby Lynn Fredrickson, Middleton, was the matron of Honor and Miss Betsy Gaynor, West Chester, Pa., was the bridesmaid. Their blue two-tiered dresses with bow-accented side wrap tie, were accented by yellow, blue and white colonial daisy bouquets and daisy hairpieces.

Attending the groom was Rick Verschay, Marshfield, as bestman and Bob Rondorf, Loyal, as groomsman. The groom’s brothers, Ron and Randy Hendrickson of Greenwood, acted as ushers.
