PRETTY WEDDING NORTH OF HULL

At the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herman De Vries, five miles
northeast of Hull, occurred the marriage of Mr. Peter Van Batavia and Miss
Catherine De Vries, on Friday, February 24, the ceremony being performed by
the young couple’s pastor, Rev. G. H. Douwstra, in the presence of
relatives, at four P. M.

The home was beautifully decorated. Fresh roses and daisies carrying out the
bride’s chose colors of pink and white in the charming and artistic
arrangement, and a bower in one corner of the room where the ceremony took
place was wonderful with roses and daisies. The bride carried a bouquet of
bridal roses, the wedding march from “Lohengrin” being played by Miss Katie
Kragt.

At six P. M. a two-course dinner was served the wedding party, a delicious
repast, the table being beautifully appointed, decorations of pink and white
carried out in the home, being accentuated in the dining room, large candles
adding their beauty to the pretty appointments.

Both young people are from highly respected and honored people of the Hull
vicinity, the bride being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman De Vries,
prominent farmers, her domestic duties at home the best preparation for the
duties of keeping house for the man of her choice. The bridegroom is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. B. Van Batavia, prominent farmers living three miles east of
Hull. The young couple will make their home on the farm three miles east of
Hull.

Joining with their many friends, The Alton Democrat wishes them success and
happiness.
