Klapatauskas, Martha B. (Marriage - 9 November 1963)

 

The Holy Family Catholic Church in Willard was the setting November 9, for the wedding of Miss Martha B. Klapatauskas of Willard, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Mike Klapatauskas, Sr., and Michael Podobnik, son of Michael Podobnik, Sr., of Greenwood.  Officiating at the double ring nuptial mass was the Rev. William V. Nikolai. The altar was adorned with bouquets of white chrysanthemums.

 

Two hundred-thirty guests witnessed as Julius Klapatauskas gave his sister in marriage.  For her wedding the bride chose a white street length dress styled with an overskirt. A round, jeweled neckline and three-quarter length sleeves fashioned the bodice. She wore a white pillbox hat with a blusher veil, and a white orchid wrist corsage.

 

Mrs. Frank Debevec, sister of the bride, served as her matron-of-honor. She wore a tangelo street length dress with a bolero effect. The flared skirt was trimmed with roses down the back. She wore a matching pillbox hat with veil, and a wrist corsage of gold chrysanthemums.
