A 1988 Wedding
Socks, groom's joke on bride
Dean Rutledge and Diane Kraemer enjoyed a 1980's style wedding
when they exchanged vows on Sept. 17, 1988.
Bridal registry
a handy time saver
One of the best tools available
today for the bride-to-be is the
in-store bridal gift registry, avail
able in some local gift and house
wares stores, as well as in many
large city department stores.
The use of the gift registry allows
the engaged couple to choose
specific items for their home before
they are married.
Couples should decide together
their individual preferences for
their new home; then decide to
gether on color combinations for
each room, as well as on china,
silver and casual dinnerware pat
terns and items for entertaining,
and for the small appliances they
need for their new lifestyle.
It is important for couples regi
stering to be as specific as possible
when filling out their registration
form at the store or stores of then-
choice.
BE SPECIFIC
Couples should list exact colors,
sizes, and all other information for
items on their list. For example, if
listing small appliances, be sure to
specify the unit’s model number,
brand name and color, if appli
cable. It is important for friends to
feel confident that they are pur
chasing a gift that will be truly
cherished.
Choose items with the complete
room in mind. Keep linens colour-
co-ordinated in the bedrooms and
baths.
Choose silver, china and glass
ware patterns at the same time so
that they complement each other,
as well as the dining room decor.
The Church of the Immaculate
Conception in Formosa was the
setting for the exchange of wed
ding vows between Diane Kraemer
and Dean Rutledge. The double
ring ceremony took place on Satur
day, September 17, 1988, with
Father Mike Bennett officiating.
The bride is the daughter of Ken
and Marie Kraemer Walkerton,
and the groom is the son of Brian
and Marlene Rutledge of Brussels.
Irene Rettinger provided the
organ music for the ceremony,
while Laurie and Doris Fischer
sang a duet.
Given in marriage by her father,
the bride wore a long white satin
gown with a flowing train. The
fitted bodice was detailed with
embroidered and beaded ap
pliques, while the high neckline
and long, puffed lace sleeves
complemented the dress. The bride
wore a small satin hat with a
fingertip veil, and carried a cascad
ing bouquet of red roses.
The bridesmaids wore long, sa
tin, royal-blue gowns and carried
fans trimmed with flowers of peach
and royal blue. Patricia Ernewein,
sister of the bride, was the maid of

honour; and Brenda Blakely, friend
of the bride, Fran Bastian, cousin
of the bride, Darlene Kraemer,
sister-in-law of the bride, and
Bobbie-Jo Rutledge, sister of the
groom, served as bridesmaids.
The flowergirl, Courtney Rut
ledge, cousin of the groom, was
dressed in a long, white satin gown
and carried a nosegay to match
those of the bridesmaids.
The groom wore a grey, pin
striped tuxedo, while his atten
dants all wore light grey tuxedos.
David Smith, friend of the groom,
was the best man; and Marty
Rutledge, brother of the groom,
and Rob Cardiff and Gary Arm
strong, friends of the groom, were
the ushers. Cory Kraemer, nephew
of the bride, was the ringbearer.
The groom’s attire was the cause
of some concern for the bride, for
he had told her that he always wore
white socks, and if she was going to
marry him, she would have to
marry his socks as well. Part way
through the wedding ceremony, as
he and Diane sat together in the
nuptial pew in full view of the
guests, Dean nudged his bride,

then slowly began to pull up one
pant leg. Diane looked shocked
until she spied Dean’s grey socks,
and both had a good laugh over the
incident.
The bride’s mother welcomed
guests in a pale mauve street
length dress, while the groom’s
mother extended greetings in a
blue street-length dress.
A dinner and reception was held
at the Knights of Columbus Hall in
Walkerton. The young couple had
planned on a honeymoon at Mon
tego Bay in Jamaica, and were
scheduled to leave early on the day
following the wedding. However,
during the week of the wedding, a
vicious hurrican had swept across
the Carribean, devastating much of
the island, and plans had to be
changed in a hurry.
The next best that the travel
agency could come up with was
accommodation at St. Kitts - one
week later! But Dean and Diane
happily accepted the delay, and
thoroughly enjoyed their two-week
honeymoon in the unexpected loca
tion.
The happy couple now live in
Walkerton.
