A Pretty Church Wedding.
At the Evangelical church in Albion Sept., 30th, occurred the marriage of Miss Amanda Walter and Herman A. Miller, Rev. Wienands officiating. Promptly at 11 a. m., Miss Lena Walter, cousin of the bride, began the wedding march. Little Ellen Walter, also a cousin of the bride, prettily dressed in pale blue silk and white lace, as flower girl, came first stepping backward in march time, gracefully tossing bright flowers in the path of the bride who entered with her sister, Miss Rosetta Walter, as maid of honor; and were followed by the groom, arm in arm with his brother, Mr. Gus Walter, as his best man. They in turn were followed by the bridesmaids: Miss Olga Walter, a sister of the bride, and Miss Martha Miller, a sister of the groom.
The contracting parties took up their position beneath a large floral bell in the form of a lily. The ceremony was that beautiful one where the bride and groom exchange rings. At its close the flower girl presented a large shower spray of white asters to the maid of honor and she in turn presented them to the bride.
The bride’s dress was heavy Melrose silk of a shade known as ashes of roses, with garnitures of white chiffon applique and white silk gimp braid.
The maid of of{sic} honor and bridemaids were gowned alike in lovely creations of white silk Habutai. The gentlemen wore the conventional black.
The reception given at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Walter, was a most enjoyable affair. A large awning had been erected on the lawn and beneath were placed bedecked tables on which were laid 100 covers at a time.
Something over 500 guests were served during the dinner hour. The menu was of the very best—more than bountiful—as a list of the 23 different kinds of cake alone will show: Wedding, Bride, Groom, Angelfood, Spanish, National, Ribbon, Orange, Lemon, Walnut, Almond, Watermelon, Marble, Fig, Roll, Minnehaha, Caramel, Chocolate, Fruit, Ginger also cream, fruit and ginger cookies.
The presents were numerous—all were beautiful and not a few were quite expensive; including parlor diningroom and kitchen furniture; two sets of fine china and quite a number of handsome decorated individual pieces. The crystal and silver display was beautiful, and among the many gifts in this line were a complete tea set, flanked by two elegant clocks, marble and Onyx; rugs, pictures, linen, lamps, lace and parlor ornaments not a few, a sewing machine as well as a handsome dot in cash were presented to the bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller were born and raised in this vicinity and need no comment as to their popularity. The bride is an accomplised{sic} musician and a devout church worker. The groom is a son of Ed Miller, one of Howard countp’s{sic} able farmers, who does not let his children depart from his roof-tree empty handed

Transcriber’s Note: The bride’s maiden name is spelled two different ways.
