Bayuk, Teresa (14 August 1982)

The Rev. Richard Bayuk performed the wedding ceremony for his sister, Teresa Bayuk, to Larry Jolivette in Saturday afternoon, August 14, rites at Holy Family Catholic Church, Willard. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bayuk of Willard and Mr. and Mrs. Burton Jolivette, Greenwood.

Special music for the service was offered by Chuck Bayuk and Margaret Gosar.

Rose Mary Bayuk, the bride’s sister of La Crosse, was maid of honor. She was joined by Susan Slowiak, a friend from Eau Claire, and Batty Bayuk, a cousin from Willard. Russ Denk, a friend of the groom from Eau Claire, was best man. He was joined by Kevin Metzke, a friend from Marshfield, and Dave Larson, a friend from Miami, Florida. Ushering were Randy Vesel, a friend from Greenwood, and Ed Bayuk, the bride’s brother of Willard.

The bride chose a hand-sewed, floor-length gown of batiste material. She carried a bouquet of silk, white and pink roses, adorned with baby’s breath and other flowers. Her attendants also wore hand-sewed, floor-length gowns in light pink. They carried silk arrangements of white miniature carnations and pink roses, adorned with baby’s breath. The groom and his attendants were attired in gray tuxedos.

Following the wedding ceremony, a reception and dinner was held in the parish hall, which was followed by a dance at the Greenwood American Legion Hall. The couple then left on a wedding trip to the Smokey Mountains and southeastern states.

The new Mr. and Mrs. Jolivette will make their home in La Crosse. She is a graduate of Greenwood High School and from Mid-State Technical Institute at Stevens Point.
