----Bucheger, Jacquelyn (22 AUG 1964)

Miss Jacquelyn Bucheger became the bride of Ross Fritz at a wedding solemnized at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenwood on Saturday, August 22nd in an 11:00 a.m. Nupital Mass. The Rev. Edward Hartung officiated at the Nuptial Mass.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Bucheger of Greenwood and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lorraine Fritz of Owen.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore an elegantly designed gown of silk organza over taffeta. The very fitted bodice was fashioned with an empire waist falling into a bell shaped skirt enhanced with a Watteau train. The skirt and train were highlighted with imported Swiss lace. The bridal bouquet was made up of one large, red Dutchess Rose surrounded by baby roses of the same color, and cascades of ivy.

Attending her sister as maid of honor was Miss Judi Bucheger of Greenwood, and bridesmaids, Miss Karen Micke of Wisconsin Rapids and Miss Donna Fritz, a sister of the groom from Owen.

The bridesmaids wore identical floor length gowns in white chiffon over taffeta. They were designed with bell shaped skirts, similar to that of the bride. They wore a white butterfly head piece, and carried one large red dutchess rose.

Attending the groom as best man was Arden Fritz of St. Louis, Missouri, a brother of the groom, and groomsmen Richard Howard of Chippewa Falls and Joseph Bucheger of Greenwood, a brother of the bride.

Following the ceremony a brunch was held at 12:30 with a reception at the Meadowview Country Club in late afternoon.

The bride is a graduate of the Owen-Withee Senior High School and has been previously employed as secretary for General Contracting Firm in Minneapolis.

The groom is a graduate of the Owen-Withee Senior High School and the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire. He is now teaching in the Medford High School.

The newly weds will make their home at 134 W. Perkins, Medford, Wisconsin.
