CELMA HUDSON AND JOHN OSLAND EXCHANGE NUPTIAL VOWS JUNE 8

The First Methodist church in Grinnell provided the setting Sunday afternoon, June 8, at 2 o'clock, for the marriage of Miss Celma Lucille Hudson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Hudson of Grinnell and Kenneth Osland, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Osland of Gilman. The Rev. C.D. Loose officiated at the single ring nuptial service in the presence of 100 guests.

Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. Albert Herzberg sang "I Love You Truly, with organ accompaniment by Edward Bohstedt, who also played softly through the services.

To the strains of the Wedding March from "Lohengrin" the bridal party took their places before a beautiful floral setting. Complimenting a green and white background of baby's breath and ferns was an artistic arrangement of two large baskets of delphinium, pale pink and white peonies and mock orange blossoms interspersed with smaller baskets of orange blossoms.

Miss Neola Hudson of Grinnell, sister of the bride, and Miss Mildred Osland of Gilman, sister of the bridegroom, served as bridesmaids, while Merle Keup of Newburg and Richard Campbell of Gilman attended the bridegroom. Ushers were Robert and Darrel Herzberg.

WHITE SATIN GOWN

The bride's white satin, princess style gown extended into a train and was fashioned with long sleeves and a lace trimmed yoke. Her floor length net veil was held in place with a coronet of seed pearls and she carried a white lace handkerchief, a family heirloom belonging to the bridegroom's grandmother, Mrs. Caroline Broders. Her flowers were a bouquet of white calla lilies tied with tulle.

Both bridesmaids wore gowns fashioned along princess lines. Miss Hudson was attired in peach net trimmed with lace and Miss Osland wore delphinium blue lace. Their flowers were bouquets of peach and white snapdragons and delphinium.

Carol Wallis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wallis, and a cousin of the groom, wore a pink taffeta dress and carried the wedding ring in a pink rosebud.

The bride's mother was attired in a navy blue redingote with white accessories, while the groom's mother wore a printed sheer with blue and white accessories. Both ladies had shoulder corsages of pink roses and delphinium.

RECEPTION

Following the wedding, 50 guests were received at the home of the bride's parents. A pink and white color scheme predominated the refreshments, which were served by the Misses Pearl and Marie Duffus, friends of the bride. Members of the bridal party and parents of the bride and groom were seated at the bride's table, which was lighted by two candelabra holding white candles. The centerpiece was a three-tier white wedding cake trimmed with pink rosebuds and a miniature bride and groom. Bouquets of pink roses, daisies and other summer flowers were arranged about the house.

After a short wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs. Osland will be at home on the former's farm near Gilman.

Out-of-town wedding guests included Mrs. Myrtle Pryde and daughter, Betty, and Mr. and Mrs. Hal Waugh of Centerville; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hudson and granddaughter, Patsy Lou, of Montezuma; and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Lineweaver of Brooklyn.
