Benjamin (Ben) Minter, age 87, lifelong farmer of the township of Pulaski, WI passed away peacefully Tuesday morning, January 10 at home. He was born on June 23, 1935, in Dodgeville WI to Bernard and Anna (Cerny) Minter. After Ben’s father passed away when Ben was just a teen, he had to take on the responsibility of helping his mother run the farm. He took on the major role at a young age of making the hog, chicken, and dairy farm successful. In 1956, Ben met Mary Otter at a dance, and they were married on September 14, 1957. They were parents to 9 children. In 1963, they purchased their first farm and were able to finally pursue their dream of a family farming operation. They continued to farm for several years until finally selling the farm to their son, Richard in 1997, and retiring. Ben, Mary, and family members along with several Amish builders constructed their dream log house just down the road in 2000 and they continued to reside there. Ben had many passions in life. Those included his large family first of all. Despite retiring from active farming, he continued to love getting out on his tractor or side by side to get into the fields and countryside that he so much loved. He prided himself for many years on a wellkept acreage - he loved to mow! He also loved to attend farm auctions, where he would discuss various farming methods with other farmers from other areas of the state, comparing ideas. He was a 4-H project leader for years. He was an avid woodworker; in fact, he donated many of his projects to area fundraisers to raise money for charity. He loved getting into the vehicle with Mary or a couple of his children to travel to an Amish auction or just drive to visit friends. He and Mary always liked their regular weekly card games, either played at their house or a neighbor or friends. Ben could play a mean game of euchre! His love for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren was unsurpassed. He treasured each one. Ben offered many of his grandchildren their first driving lessons behind the wheel out in the middle of the field - always memorable. Whisker rubs for the little ones were always a treasured memory! Ben is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Mary (Otter) Minter and 9 children, Mike (Ellen) Minter, Susan (Pat) Paulick, Pat (Virginia) Minter, Richard Minter, Mark (Donna)Minter, Sandy (Ken) Brandt, Mary Jo Minter, Ben Minter, Jill (Gordon) Winter, 21 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by 3 sisters, Patricia (John) Grzenia, Mary Grindeman, and Marilyn (Jerry) Swinehart, and 1 sister-in-law, Marcia Meudt, and two brothers-in law, August (Donna) Otter and Tom Otter, as well as many special nieces and nephews. Ben was preceded in death by his parents, Bernard and Anna, a stepfather, Virgil Imhoff, his mother and father-in-law, Louis and Loretta Otter, as well as many special other loved ones. Funeral services were held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, January 14, 2023, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Avoca, with burial following in the church cemetery. Visitation was held at the Avoca Village Hall 401 East Wisconsin Ave, Avoca, WI 53506, on Friday, January 13, 2023, from 4:00 PM until 7:00 PM with a rosary prayed at 3:45 PM. Visitation was held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on Saturday, January 14, 2023, from 10:00 AM until the time of service at 11:00 AM Memorials may be directed to Avoca Fire Department and Avoca EMS or Second Harvest Food Bank. The Pratt Funeral and Cremation Service assisted the family with arrangements. Prattfuneralservice.com

Responsibilities of various members of a wedding party

Participating in a wedding party is an honor. Couples invite many people to their weddings, and the select few asked to be in the party are typically those individuals with whom the couples shares a strong and special bond.

The role of the wedding party is not merely symbolic. Though it’s up to the happy couple to determine how involved they want their wedding party to be, individuals asked to be in the party should know that their acceptance of these roles carries with it a certain level of responsibility.

Maid of Honor

The maid of honor may bear the most responsibility of any wedding party member. Maids of honor typically help with the planning of the wedding, offering advice and opinions on everything from the bride’s gown to the bridesmaid dresses and anything else a couple might need help with. If the bride asks, the maid of honor may be asked to organize dress ttings and attend them as well. A maid of honor typically plays an active, and often the lead, role in planning the bachelorette party. Come the day of the wedding, the maid of honor helps the bride prepare and may organize the bridesmaids to ensure everyone stays on schedule. A maid of honor typically toasts the happy couple during the reception as well.

Best Man

Like the maid of honor, the best man has some ex-

tra responsibilities before the wedding and during the festivities. A best man may organize tux ttings, plan the bachelor party, help make arrangements if the groom requests help, and be asked to hold the rings on the day of the ceremony. A best man toast is common during the reception, and some grooms ask their best men to distribute tips to vendors at the end of the night.

Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids often help the maid of honor plan the bachelorette party, and they also help to organize the bridal shower if the bride chooses to have one. Bridesmaids can offer input on wedding planning, particularly if they’re already married, though that is not necessarily required. Bridesmaids also can help relieve stress on the bride by being as agreeable as possible when scheduling dress ttings.

Groomsmen

Groomsmen help to plan the bachelor party and may be asked to provide some support prior to the ceremony. For example, on the day of the wedding, groomsmen may be asked to show guests, particularly elderly friends and family of the couple, to their seats. Like their bridesmaid counterparts, groomsmen can be especially helpful by doing what’s asked of them without resistance. Arriving on time to tuxedo ttings and offering insight when they think it might help are some simple ways groomsmen can pitch in.

Flower Girl/Ring Bearer

Often reserved for children, the roles of ower girls and ring bearers only require some simple participation during the ceremony. Flower girls drop petals as they precede down the aisle ahead of the wedding party, while the ringer bearer carries the ring down the aisle. If these roles will be lled by especially young children, couples may choose to have them walk down the aisle together.

Parents of the couple

Parents of the bride and groom typically play supportive roles but may be asked to give speeches during the rehearsal dinner or the reception. The father of the bride typically walks her down the aisle, while the mother will likely spend the day of the ceremony at the bride’s side as they get ready. Parents of the groom do not have any traditional responsibilities, though the groom and his mother customarily share a mother/son dance during the reception.

Couples need not feel compelled to assign bridal party members these duties if they don’t feel comfortable doing so. However, sharing some of the responsibilities of wedding planning can help couples enjoy the process more and keep party members engaged.

Novel gifts for bridesmaids

Brides- and grooms-to-be select people who are near and dear to their hearts to be special parts of their momentous days. So the chance to participate in a friend’s or family member’s wedding is a great honor.

A wedding party plays a key role in both the ceremony and reception. Participants do everything from helping couples make decisions to addressing invitations to providing emotional support. As so much is asked of the wedding party – particularly the maid/matron of honor and bridesmaids – it’s customary to bestow gifts on those people who devoted so much time and effort to the wedding. These potential bridesmaid gifts can serve as a thoughtful and unique to way to thank bridesmaids for all that they’ve done.

• Photo books: Gift the bridesmaids with photo books of carefully curated photographs taken throughout the wedding planning experience. Pepper the books with other photos, such as images of you with the bridesmaids at fun moments throughout your lives together.

• Portrait wine or champagne glasses: Beverage glasses customized with the bridesmaids’ likenesses painted or printed onto them make for great gifts. Bridesmaids will enjoy sipping their favorite drinks in special glasses for years to come.

• Personalized phone cases: Who doesn’t rely on their mobile phones these days? Treat your bridesmaids to something special with colorful phone cases with their names embossed or printed on the outsides.

• Wellness or spa gift card: After all of the running

around for the wedding, bridesmaids may need a little extra pampering. Gift cards to a local spa can t the bill.

• Birthstone jewelry: Necklaces, rings or earrings become that much more special when they’re customized to the recipients. Purchase jewelry with your bridesmaids’ birthstones so they’ll be as unique as each woman.

• Friendship bracelets: Gift each bridesmaid with beaded friendship bracelets that features all of the ladies’ initials. Be sure to keep one for yourself, and you all can enjoy nights on the town showcasing your special bracelets.

• Monogrammed robes or purses: A customized pocketbook, robe or another item bridesmaids will use every day can make for an extra-special item that will serve as a daily reminder of how

much you appreciate them.

Bridesmaid gifts are a great way for brides to thank their bridesmaids for all that they’ve done to make a couple’s wedding day special.

Popular and lasting wedding traditions

Weddings are steeped in tradition. Some of those traditions may be exclusive to particular families, but many others are embraced by families of various backgrounds.

Couples needn’t feel beholden to popular wedding traditions, but some may feel that these customs make their weddings more fun and serve as a great way to connect their ceremonies with those of their parents, grandparents and possibly even their ancestors.

Old, new, borrowed, blue

The rhyme “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” is likely familiar to people about to get married. This traditional rhyme has existed for centuries and refers to items a bride should wear and keep with her on her wedding day. The old alludes to a bride’s past, the new refers to her future, the borrowed is intended to be something borrowed from a married couple or bride, and the blue is a symbol of purity, love and delity. These items are traditionally given to the bride-tobe by family members or female friends who are already married.

Bridal veil

It’s now up to brides if they want to wear a veil on their wedding day, but it was once a tradition all brides adhered to. Some trace the tradition back to ancient Greece, while others suggest the tradition began in the days of the Roman Empire. Veils were believed to shield brides from evil spirits on her wedding day, thus paving the way for a healthy and happy future. Many brides still wear veils today, though likely due more to their aesthetic appeal than out of a belief that the veil will ward off evil spirits. Some brides still use veils to cover their face as they walk up the aisle, while others ip the veil over their heads.

Gifting knives

Perhaps one of the lesser known superstitions surrounding weddings, giving knives as a wedding gift is a no-no for some people. The origins of this superstition are uncertain, but people who abide by this tradition feel that knives are symbolic of a broken relationship. That would likely come as a surprise to the many engaged couples who have a set of knives on their wedding registries.

Carrying the bride over the threshold Historians trace this tradition, which Hollywood

has undoubtedly helped to keep alive, all the way back to medieval Europe. Also inspired by a bride’s perceived vulnerability to evil spirits, the tradition of a groom carrying his bride over the threshold into their new home was believed to keep the spirits form entering the home through the soles of the bride’s feet.

Breaking glass

Couples break glass for different reasons on their wedding days. Within the Jewish faith, one member of the couple will stomp on a carefully wrapped glass to serve as a reminder of the destruction of the Jewish temples and to inspire re ection among those in attendance. Italian newlyweds also may smash glass, but they’ll do it with a little more gusto. Local tradition in Italy dictated that, at the end of the wedding, the newly married couple would smash a wine glass. Folklore suggests that the number of pieces the glass breaks into indicates how many years the couple will stay together.

Tradition is part and parcel of many weddings. Some traditions are more solemn than others, but all can add something meaningful, dramatic and even a little fun to the ceremony.
