Stephanie Schalk and John Heidenreich exchanged marriage vows in October 2011 at All Saints Parish, New Riegel. The Rev. Timothy Kummerer was officiant during the double-ring service.
The bride is the daughter of Stephen and Jane Schalk of New Riegel and the groom is the son of Gerald and Doris Heidenreich of Middletown.
The bride, escorted by her father, wore a strapless A-line Mori Lee gown with asymmetrical ruching. The cafe-colored gown in duchess satin featured swirls that cascaded from the skirt to the gathered, bubbled hemline. The dress also featured a corset tie-back that met the flowing, chapel train. She wore a waist-length cafe veil featuring a double blusher and satin edging. She carried a bouquet of red roses, yellow mini sunflowers, Viking pomps, solidago asters and dark orange alstometria.
