Popular Couple of This City Plight Faith In Presence of Friends

 

            At high noon today in the presence of relatives and immediate friends at the fine residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Nelson, occurred the marriage of their accomplished daughter, Amanda E. Nelson, to Frank O. Stratton.  The spacious parlors were tastily decorated with ferns and smilax and a beautiful floral arch was formed under which the contracting parties stood during the wedding ceremony.  Miss Jessie Hanson presided at the piano and executed the wedding march from Lohengrin.  Miss Emma Nelson, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, dressed in cream pongee and carried pink roses.  Will Breit acted as best man.

            The bride was dressed in white silk and carried white roses.

            The ceremony was conducted by Rev. C.H. Jensen with the ring service in his usual pleasing manner.

            After congratulations a beautiful wedding dinner was served.

            The couple left on the 3:40 train for a short honeymoon trip after which they will be at home at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Nelson, N. State Street.

            The Republican-Post joins in wishing them much joy.
