Koschak, Bernadine (Marriage - 23 June 1973)
St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Greenwood, was the setting Saturday, June 23, for
the marriage of Kimberly teachers Miss Bernadine J. Koschak and Thomas W. Wall.
The Rev. Leander Koopman of St. Mary’s and the Rev. John Wall, cousin of the
groom, officiated at the 2 p.m. ceremony.
Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Ignatius J. Koschak of Greenwood and Mrs.
Charles E. Wall of Manitowoc and the late Dr. Wall. Mr. Koschak presented his
daughter in marriage.
The bride’s gown, fashioned of ivory satin organza, was styled with a high
neckline, bracelet-sleeved, modified empire bodice topping a gently A-line
skirt. Venise lace detailed the bodice. Her chapel-length mantilla veil was
trimmed with the same lace. She carried an orchid and stephanotis bouquet.
Miss Mary Jo Koschak, Eau Claire, was the honor attendant. Bridesmaids were Miss
Mary Rolfson, Kimberly, and Mrs. Audrey Zigmund, Green Bay. The fitted bodice of
their orchid and pink boucle knit gowns featured high necklines and long sleeves
trimmed with venise lace. Softly gathered skirts were topped with sashes.
Matching headpieces and bouquets of daisies, carnations and baby’s breath
completed their ensembles.
Serving as bestman was William Zigmund, Green Bay. Groomsmen were Robert
Warrens, Arlington Heights, Il., and Michael Wall, La Crosse. Guests were seated
by Michael Short, Appleton, and John Arendt, Menasha.
Music at the wedding was provided by Mrs. Rita Stewart and her daughter.
A supper at St. Mary’s hall was followed by a reception at the Greenwood
American Legion Hall.
The new Mrs. Wall is a 1969 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Her husband graduated from St. Norbert’s College in DePere and received his
Master’s Degree from Winona State College, in Winona, Mn.
