The church was tastefully and appropriately decorated for the occasion. The bride was dressed in dotted swiss trimmed with lace insertion and all over lace, wearing white slippers and veil. She carried roses and carnations. The bride was attended by Misses Esther Larsen of St. Paul and Rena and Ida Johnson. The groom wore the convenal black, and was attended Oliver Solberg, Melvin and Sidley Person.
