A number of Muscatine people were among the out-of-town guests at the nuptials of Miss Vera Lenore Dickerson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lem. Dickerson, formerly of Muscatine but now residents near Letts, and Arthur LeRoy Fisher, a member of the firm of Coon and Fisher of this city, at the home of the bride's parents at high noon today. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. E.R. McCorkel, pastor of the United Brethern church, in the presence of about thirty-five of the relatives and friends of the bridal couple, who were unattended during the ceremony. The bride was prettily gowned in a white crepe de chine costume with trimmings of lace and sweetpeas.

A bounteous wedding dinner was served following the ceremony. The home and tables were charmingly decorated with a color combination of pink and green principally carried out with cut flowers.

Mr. and Mrs. Fisher left during the afternoon for an eastern wedding trip, and upon their return to Muscatine will be at home to their friends at 511 East Seventh street, after the middle of the month. The young couple were the recipients of a shower of handsome presents.

Guests from Muscatine in attendance at the nuptials included, Mr. and Mrs. William Fisher, parents of the groom, Miss Nina, Raymond and Robert Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. E.R. McCorkel and the Misses Geneva Shiek, Leah Coyle, Leah Amlong and Gladys Wiegand.
