Olejnik-Miller Vows Exchanged in Rossville

The Rossville United Methodist Church was the setting for the exchange of marriage vows by Lila Olejnik and Bill Miller on Friday, April 23, 1976 at 7 p.m. The Rev. Bill Hurtig heard the nuptial vows.

Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. William Olejnik, Rossville, and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Miller, Silver Lake.

The flowers on the altar were yellow mums and white poms. Greenery with white bows decorated the candelabras. Calvin Queen, Silver Lake, was the organist. Debbie Little, Delia, provided the wedding music. Sherri Stach, Rossville, attended the guest book.

The bride's dress was a floor length empire-style created in acetate and nylon lace, acetate satin ribbon bow trim, split stand-up collar, long billowing sleeves with deep cuffs edged in ruffles, ruffled lace and sheer back-in-front yoke. The full A-line skirt had double lace ruffle trim at the hem. She wore a chapel length nylon tulle veil edged in lace, held by a lace cap with pearls. She carried a bouquet of stephanotis, yellow sweetheart roses and yellow carnations with white ribbon streamers.

Attending the bride were Judy Olejnik, Holton, cousin of the bride as matron of honor; and Kathy Willingham, Rossville, as bridesmaid. The girls wore floor-length yellow sheer gauze-like woven polyester cotten [sic] with a crinkle texture, trimmed in lace. They carried nosegays of yellow daisies and baby's breath with yellow ribbon and streamers. Lisa Olejnik, sister of the bride, was candlelighter. She wore a floor-length yellow crinkle-texture dress styled after the bridal attendant's gowns, and flower girl, Christina Moore of Topeka, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Moore, wore a floor-length dress styled after the attendant's gowns.

Attending the groom were Jim Whitehead, Silver Lake, as best man, and Robert Miller, Lansing, Mich., brother of the groom, as groomsman. Ringbearer was Mark Gerard, Colorado, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Gerard. Bob Olejnik, Rossville, brother of the bride, Rick Davis, Steve Moore and Mike Bates, all of Topeka, were ushers.

A reception in the church basement followed the ceremony. A wedding dance was held that evening in the Moravan Hall. Bob Blecha's Polka Band of Nebraska provided the music.
