KLOSTER-WALINGA NUPTIALS HELD
Wedding Unites Members of Prominent Families—Will Live in Fredonia Township

A pretty wedding took place at the Danish Lutheran Church in Fredonia
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, when Miss Edith Kloster and Harry Walinga
were joined in marriage by Rev. A. J. Hansen of Marcus.

The young couple were unattended. The bride was attired in a gown of pink
crepe de chine, made with flare skirt and trimmed with a real lace collar.
A string of pearls completed the costumes. She carried a bouquet of red
roses and white sweet peas. The groom wore the conventional blue.

After the ceremony, a reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. T. Kloster. Both the church and the house were decorated in the
bride’s colors, pink and white. A wedding dinner was served to 160 friends
and relatives. The tables decorated in the pink and white, were centered
with a huge wedding cake bake by the groom’s mother. Visiting and informal
games concluded the evening. Many beautiful gifts were received by the
couple.

The young couple will make their home on a farm of the groom’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John Walinga, and will be at home to their many friends in
Fredonia.
