Schultz, Irene L. (19 March 1977)

A honeymoon trip to Hawaii followed the March 19 wedding of Irene L. Schultz and John M. Gatz, both of Rt. 2 Greenwood. Officiating at the 1 p.m. ceremony, performed at the bride’s home, were two clergymen, Fr. Houston of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Rev. Antrim of the United Methodist Church.

A nosegay of red and white roses accented the bride’s cream-colored floor length gown trimmed with lace. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Griswold, McHenry, Il., she was presented in marriage by her father.

Serving as attendants were the groom’s daughter, Mrs. Alfred (Susanne) Bredlau of Neillsville and the bride’s son, Gary Lee Schultz of Greenwood. Mrs. Bredlau’s yellow floor length gown was complimented by a nosegay of apricot-colored roses. The couple’s grandchildren Michael Bredlau and Heather Schultz, served as ring bearer and flower girl, respectively.

Rochelle Schultz played the organ, and Gary Schultz sang “The Lord’s Prayer.”

A reception was held at the Loyal American Legion Hall.

The newlyweds will make their home on Rt. 2 Greenwood. The groom is employed as a bus driver for the Greenwood School system.
