A dainty luncheon, consisting of sandwiches, cakes, rainbow salad, candies and tea, was served to the guests.
Everyone departed, wishing the bride-to-be heaps of happiness in the future.
The bride, given away by her father, was most charmingly dressed in a gown of white satin, and wore a long veil, carrying a bouquet of lilies of the valley and sweet peas. The groom, attended by his brother, Melvin Rosenthal, was attired in the conventional black. The ushers wore conventional black. The ushers were Wayne Rosenthal and Clarence Harding. Miss Cora Klemm sang "I Love You Truly" to the accompaniment of Mrs. Raymond McCarty at organ, after which Rev. Vandre gave a spiritual talk of advice for future days to the bride and groom. This was followed by the song "Oh, Promise Me," also sung by Miss Klemm. The single ring ceremony was then performed by Rev. Vandre and according to the ritual of the Lutheran church [they] were then pronounced man and wife. The bridal couple received congratulations of friends and relatives in the entry of the church, and later a two-course luncheon was served to sixty guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Harding.
The bride has been book-keeper in her father's implement store here for some time. The groom has resided with his parents on a farm near Crown Point. The newly married couple left for [a] trip to southern Indiana and the Mammoth Cave and will be at home to their friends on the Harding farm southwest of town after May 12th. The bride wore for her going away [a] gown of rose with hat to match. With the best wishes of friends and loved ones the young couple will soon be in their home assuming the responsibilities of church, home and community.
