At 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon June 28, the Rev. S. E. Rathke united in marriage Miss Esther Bredlau, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Bredlau, Spencer and Mr. Donald Fredrick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Fredrick, Auburndale. The rites were read at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Hewitt, which was decorated with baskets of garden flowers.

The bride wore a white velveray marquisette dress princess style with buttons down the back and a fingertip veil held by a tiara of seed pearls. She carried a bouquet of tea roses and swansonia. Miss Dorothy Bredlau, sister of the bride and Miss Lorraine Fredrick were her attendants. Miss Bredlau, acting as maid of honor, wore blue velverray marquisette similar in style as the bride’s dress. Miss Fredrick wore yellow marquisette jacket-effect. Both wore a corsage and pearl necklace, a gift of the bride.

Clarence Fredrick was best man and Elmer Panzer was groomsman.

Miss Ruth Rathke sang an appropriate selection during the ceremony which was followed by a dinner served at the home of the groom’s parents. Covers were laid for 45, and decorations were white, blue, and yellow streamers. A large white wedding bell suspended from the ceiling and a cake featuring a miniature bride and groom centered the table.
