Bruss, Gladys (Marriage - 5 JUN 1928)

A very pretty wedding ceremony took place at Zion Lutheran Church Tuesday afternoon at 4:00, Rev. A. Kirchhoefer officiating, when Miss Gladys Bruss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bruss, became the bride of Rev. Arnold Beawer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beawer.

Edna Bruss of Neillsville, Clark County, cousin of the bride, acted as maid of honor and the bridesmaids were Anna Beawer, sister of the groom, and Eleanore Manz of Milwaukee, cousin of the bride. Rev. Theo. Nickle of Bessemmer, Mich., was best man. Elro Bruss acted as ring bearer and carried rings on two calla lilies. The flower girl, Anita Bruss, carried a basket of roses and sweet pears. Maynard Schwantes of Unity and Erwin Greeler of Neillsville were ushers.

The bride wore a beautiful dress of white satin, pearls and lace, and carried a bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. The maid of honor wore a dress of light coral and carried a bouquet of light carnations and sweet peas. Each bridesmaid wore a dress of coral with lace and carried a bouquet of carnations and sweet peas.

A wedding reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, the dining room being nicely decorated in white for the occasion. Fifty guests were present. The newlyweds will make a wedding trip to Niagara Falls and will be at home after July 15th at Kongsberg, N.D., where the groom is pastor of the Lutheran Church.

Both the bride and the groom are well and favorably known in Colby, Wis. and vicinity and have many friends here who wish them a happy journey as they embark on the voyage of life together.
