Reindel, Alma (14 Jun 1916)

On Wednesday afternoon of last week, Rev Brandt gave the words with united Arnold Worchel and Miss Alma Reindel in marriage. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride in town of Grant at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. At that hour, to the strains of the wedding march played by Mabel Lastofka, the wedding party, consisting of the bride, her father and sister, entered the parlor of the Reindel home and met the groom under a floral arch where they were married by the ring ceremony.

The bride wore a gown of white satin and georgette crepe and carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley and her wreath was caught by a bouquet of lilies of the valley. Her sister, Miss Leah Reindel, was the maid of honor and Miss Beatrice Miller was her bridesmaid. Both wore gowns of pink and carried arm bouquets of pink and white carnations. The groom was accompanied by Harold Riedel, a cousin, and Will Reindel, a brother of the bride.

The fine Reindel home was profusely decorated with pink and white ribbon and flowers and presented a truly charming appearance. There were 200 guests and they were served with a sumptuous wedding dinner at 6 o’clock and a midnight luncheon was again served as a closing feature of the wedding festivities.

The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Reindel, a young lady of charming personality and winsome manners, thoroughly competent and will make a most efficient helpmate. The groom is one of the sterling young men of the town of Grant. He is a progressive young farmer and the fact that he takes his bride to a fine home all ready for her, speaks much for his industry and integrity. They go to housekeeping with the very best wishes of their host of friends, young and old. Among those who were here from out of town for the wedding were, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bartell and daughter, Esther, of Edgar; Mr. and Mrs. O.J. Johnson and son, Willis, of Eau Claire; and Mr. and Mrs. [remainder of article unavailable for transcription]
