Anderson, Janice Mae (Marriage - 6 May 1972)

Miss Janice Mae Anderson became the bride of Allen Eugene Arndt Saturday, May 6, in a 2 p.m. double-ring ceremony performed at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Withee by the Rev. Arthur Hellert. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Anderson of Rt. 2 Withee are the parents of the bride. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Arndt of Rt. 1 Owen.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a gown of Alencon lave and taffeta styled with a stand-up collar, long sleeves, a dropped waistline and a bouffant skirt. Her matching lace and tulle veil was trimmed with rose appliqué and held by a pearl crown. She carried a bouquet of red and white roses.

Diane Anderson was the bride’s honor attendant. Bridesmaid was Kathy Anderson. The attendants’ high- wasted gowns were fashioned of pink bonded crepe and accented with lace-trimmed bodices and lace sleeves. They carried bouquets of pink and white carnations.

Ronald Anderson served as bestman. Groomsman was Donald Arndt. Ushers were Billy Anderson and Terry Arndt.

A reception for 200 guests was held in the church dining hall. Among those attending the wedding from out of town were the groom’s grandparents, Mr and Mrs. Virgil Oats of Marshfield.

The bride is a 1970 graduate of Owen-Withee High School. The groom graduated from Owen-Withee High School in 1969 and from Eau Claire technical in statute in 1971. He is employed by a Longwood firm. The newlyweds will live on Rt. 2 Withee.
