Frank and Geraldine Tieso


 

Marriage
of
Geraldine Frances Menke and Frank W. Tieso


At nine o'clock on the morning of June 1, 1944, Miss Geraldine Frances Menke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Menke, became the bride of Sgt. Frank W. Tieso, son of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin C. Tieso of Boston, Mass.

Rev. A. A. Antochowski, celebrant at the Nuptial High Mass, officiated at the marriage using a double ring ceremony.

St. Stephen's choir rendered the Mass of the Little Flower and used the Angelus Domini, "Ave Maria" for the offertory.

Mrs. Tieso chose Miss Frances Tieso for her bridesmaid, who wore a frock of powder blue, chenille embroidered, taffeta. The shirred close fitting bodice had short puffed sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. The full flared skirt was cut floor length. Her crown of chenille lattice was of matching blue and had shoulder length streamers of Alice blue veiling held to the crown with silk and velvet rose of the same color. White elbow length lace mitts completed her costume, and she carried an arm bouquet of talisman roses and maiden-hair fern tied with rose pink tulle.

The bride's dress of white silk organza was made with short full bodice gathered into a wide fitted girdle cut diamond shape in  front. The full sleeves were gathered into wrist bands of Chantilly lace. The full gathered skirt fell from the girdle to the floor in graceful folds ending in a long full sweeping train. Her double finger-tip veil of illusion was edged in wide silk Chantilly lace and held in place with a crown of orange blossoms. She wore a three-strand pearl necklace and carried a sterling silver Rosary, gifts of the groom. Her shower bouquet was of Johanna Hill Roses, maiden-hair fern, and satin streamers.

Clarence Myers, uncle of the bride acted as best man for Sergeant Tieso.

Mrs. Tieso graduated from St. Stephen parochial school and the Exeter High School. She has been a successful teacher for a number of years, teaching the past two years in District 72, south of Exeter. 

Sergeant Tieso graduated from St. Gregory's High School at Dorchester, Mass. He was engaged in the trucking business with his father and brothers before being inducted into the Army. At present he is stationed at Fairmont Army Airfield.  

Following the ceremony a three-course breakfast was served at the home of the bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. John Menke east of Exeter, at noon to the immediate members of the two families.

Mrs. Clarence Myers and Mrs. Jack Leininger, aunts of the bride and a cousin, Miss Evelyn Menke, were in charge of the breakfast and dining room. A large three-tiered wedding cake and white carnations and pink snap dragons were used as a centerpiece for the table, and spring flowers were used in all the rooms.

Out-of-town guests were Mrs. Benjamin C. Tieso and Miss Frances Tieso, mother and sister of the groom, of Boston, Mass. Mrs. Jack Devaney of Fullerton, California, and Cadet Nurse Joanna Menke of Lincoln sisters of the bride, and Mrs. Jack Leininger and Maryln of Sutton.
