Petznick, Dawn Ann (Marriage – 18 September 1976)

Miss Dawn Ann Petznick became the bride of Steven Harry Bedell on Saturday, September 18, at St. John Cantius Church in Fairchild. The Rev. David Zieglmeier officiated at the 1 p.m. ceremony for the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Petznick, Rt. 1 Fairchild, and the son of Mr. and Mrs, Harry Bedell, Neillsville.

Presented in marriage by her father, the bride appeared in an ivory, Juliette style gown featuring lace panels on the skirt and framed by a long veil. She carried an arrangement of silk flowers with pink roses predominating.

Mrs. Lesa Anderson of Homestead, Fl., sister of the bride, was her honor attendant. The groom’s sister, Miss Pat Bedell of Neillsville, was the bridesmaid. Their full length, full-skirted, sleeveless gowns of polyester in shades of lavender and blue, respectively, were fashioned by the bride and featured harmonizing blue and lavender floral capes. Their bouquets included mixed silk flowers.

Cousins of the groom were his attendants. They were Jeff Bedell, Coon Rapids, Mn., as bestman and Tim Burr, Neillsville, as groomsman. Guests were seated by Mark Heiman, cousin of the groom and Larry Kohn, uncle of the bride.

Miss Pamela Selz was the organist.

A reception was held at St. John’s Hall in Fairchild.

The bride graduated from Osseo-Fairchild High School in 1973 and from Eau Claire Technical Institute in 1974. She is employed as a medical records clerk at Memorial Hospital. Her husband, a 1974 graduate of Neillsville High School, enlisted in the U.S. Army in March of 1975 and is stationed in Karlsruhe, Germany. They will make their home in Neillsville.
