KUNKEL-LOUTSCH

Miss Lorna Kunkel, daughter of the later Edward J. Kunkel and Mrs. Mary Kunkel, and Ronald Loutsch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Loutsch of Oyens were married at a pretty double ring ceremony at St. Mary’s Catholic Church Tuesday, June 16, at 8:30 by Rev. Nicholas Ruba of Carroll.

Miss Margaret Kurtnacker furnished the nuptial music and accompanied the men’s choir as they sang the wedding mass.

The bride’s gown was white satin with a lace yoke and paneled skirt which fell into a long train. Her lace edged veil fell to her finger tips from a jeweled tiara. She carried a bouquet of white daisies. Mrs. Roman Fiedler of Oyens served her sister as matron of honor. She wore a floor length gown of sky blue net over taffeta with a lace bolero, and carried a bouquet of yellow daisies. Little Mary Loutsch, sister of the bridegroom, was flower girl and wore a gown of yellow nylon with lace bolero and carried blue daisies.

Jerome Loutsch, of Oyens, brother of the bridegroom, was best man. Ushers were Paul Kunkel, brother of the bride, and Billy Loutsch, brother of the bridegroom. Gary Fiedler, nephew of the bride, was ring bearer.

The breakfast was served at the home of the bridegroom’s sister, Mrs. Robert Kilker, near LeMars. The table and hall were decorated in the bride’s chosen colors of white, blue and yellow. A three tier wedding cake centered the bride’s table.

The couple left for a wedding trip to Minnesota and upon their return will live on a farm near Kingsley.

The bride graduated from St. Mary’s Alton with the Class of 1953. The bridegroom received his education at St. Mary’s Remsen and graduated in 1949.
