Neilsen-Carey

Miss Bonelyn Mae Carey, daughter of Mrs. Augusta Carey, Spencer, became the bride of Norman Walter Neilsen, Spencer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Neilsen, Loretta, in a wedding ceremony read May 9 at 2 P. M. at the Trinity Lutheran Church. Rev. A. C. Stapel officiated at the nuptial service read before the flower bedecked altar. Norbert Book was organist and Carol Fravert soloist.

The bride approached the altar wearing a Chantilly lace gown, styled with full sleeves, a shirred bodice and long entrained skirt. Her finger tip veil of illusion was caught with clusters of lilies of the valley to a sweetheart cap and she carried lilies.

Miss Audrey Arlene Carey, in yellow embroidered marquisette, was maid of honor for her sister.

The bride’s brother, Eugene Carey, was best man, and Orville Phillips was groomsman.
