Marinette Eagle-Star Thursday, July 5, 1928 "FASHIONABLE ASSEMBLAGE WITNESSES BOYLE-LAUERMAN NUPTIALS TODAY One of the prettiest of the summer weddings took place in Our Lady of Lourdes church this morning at half after nine o'clock when Miss Alice Marie Lauerman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles John Lauerman, 1961 Riverside avenue, became the bride of Dr. Francis Maurice Boyle, son of Mrs. John Boyle, 1614 Hall avenue. Miss Lauerman wore a gown of heavy ivory satin made bodice fashion with long, close sleeves and godettes of tulle varied in length to form a demi-train. The simplicity of her veil added to its beauty--a mass of tulle en train, a band of rose point lace and a cluster of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of candidum lilies. The Bridal Retinue Miss Lauerman chose as her bridesmaids, Miss Catherine Lauerman, Mrs. Robert Emmett Cleary, formerly Miss Faith Lauerman and Miss Elizabeth Lauerman. The bride's only sister, Miss Helen Lauerman, was maid of honor. They wore chiffon gowns in shades of pink with ostritch feather trimming and large drooping summer hats to match. They carried arm bouquets of pink roses, pink and lavendar sweet peas and baby's breath. Henry Lauerman was best man, he and the groom awaiting the approach of the bride and her retinue at the sanctuary gates. Ira Westburg, Robert J. Cleary, and Frank J. Lauerman, Jr., were the ushers. Beautiful Decorations The interior of the ediface had been transformed by Laursen, the florist, into a bower of beauty. Against an altar background of palms and ferns were the tall tapers and hundreds of large pink and white choice peony blossoms which had been carefully nurtured by Charles J. Lauerman in the garden of his Riverside home. The altar rail was ridged with mock orange and ferns and banked with cedar. The main aisle, thickly carpeted with Oriental coverings, was lined with tall candle holders, each hung with a basket of white peonies and larkspur and fastened with a large maline bow. Entrance of the Bride As the strains of the Lohengrin's Wedding March resounded, with Mrs. Mary Louise Nadeau Larsen, Green Bay, presiding at the organ, Miss Lauerman walked up the illuminated aisle on the arm of her father, who gave her in marriage. The Very Rev. Francis Gregory Tulley, dean and rector, celebrated the Mass and officiated at the marriage cermony. Assisting him in the sanctuary were the Rev. Fathers Peter Salm, J. W. R.

Lauerman home in Riverside on Thursday and had been gone an hour before their absence was learned by the guest group. A car was waiting to the rear of the Delbridge residence adjoining the Lauerman residence, and the bride and groom made their exit down the back stairway at Lauerman's, entered the car and were whisked away to Menominee, where another car was waiting at the James Mikolasek home, 319 Michigan avenue, whither their traveling bags had been previously removed. They were well on their way upon their northern wedding trip before their friends knew of their leave taking. Mrs. Boyle was Alice Lauerman before her marriage on Thursday. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Lauerman."
