Zoutendam, Beth Ann (16 June 1979)

With the Rev. Wallace Anderson officiating, Beth Ann Zoutendam and Timothy August Foemmel were united in marriage Saturday afternoon, June 16, in Living Hope Evangelical Free Church services in Neillsville. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Zoutendam, Neillsville, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Foemmel, Chili.

The bride’s father presented her to the altar. Music for the service was offered by the bride’s father, Kay Severson and Michelle Wilcox.

The bride chose a white, sheer cotton gown imprinted with tiny blue flowers, competed by double ruffles, gauze jacket and picture hat. She carried a colonial bouquet of miniature red roses, stephanotis, baby’s breath and blue starflowers.

Ellen Alsterberg, Neillsville, was maid of honor. She was joined by Cheryl Clemens of Neillsville and Rhonda Roberts of Marshfield. Their gowns were of a pale blue flower print with ruffles and gauze jackets and picture hats. They carried baskets of blue and white daisies, baby’s breath and blue starflowers.

Steve Ratsch was bestman. He was assisted by Jon Schier and Glenn Moede, all of Granton. David Zoutendam and Dan Foemmel were ushers.

A reception at the home of the bride’s parents followed the wedding. The newly married couple planned a Northern Wisconsin honeymoon.

The new Mrs., Foemmel graduated from Neillsville High School, and he graduated from Granton High School. The couple will make their home on Rt. 1, Chili, where the groom farms with his father.
