Baker, Donna (25 JUL 1964)

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Voelker are making their home in Abbotsford where he is employed with his father in the blacksmith business.

The son of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Voelker of Abbotsford claimed Miss Donna Baker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Baker of Dorchester, as his bride in a 2 o'clock ceremony performed July 25, 1964 at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Dorchester, with the Rev. F.H. Sprengler officiating.

Attending the couple as honor attendants were the bride's sister, Miss Carol Baker of Dorchester and her brother Richard Baker of Milwaukee. Miss Doris Copeland of Dorchester and Jerold Weideman of Abbotsford completed the wedding party.

A ballerina length gown of white satin with three-quarter length sleeves was chosen by the bride for her wedding. It featured a bubble skirt with white brocade flowers decorated with sequins and pearls. A flowered tiara held her fingertip veil and white and pink roses were combined in her cascade bouquet.

Her attendants were dressed alike in pink nylon sheaths with a three-tier overskirt of satin and net. They carried cascade bouquets of pink and white carnations.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the American Legion Hall at Dorchester.
