Now honeymooning in Minnesota and Canada are Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Stanley, who were married Saturday, June 11, (1949) in a double ring ceremony at the Zion Reformed Church in Neillsville. The Rev. N. J. Dechant officiated. The church was decorated with lighted candles. Only the immediate families were present.

The bride, the former Catherine Swann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Swann of Milwaukee, was attired in a gown fashioned from white nylon, which came from Japan. She wore a floor length veil and carried a bridal bouquet of talisman roses.

The couple was attended by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lipscy of St. Louis, MO., brother-in-law and sister of the bride. Mrs. Lipscy wore a floor length dress of powder blue and carried a colonial bouquet.

A dinner for the guests was served at the Merchant’s Hotel following the ceremony.
