THEIR LICENSE NO GOOD HERE
Bought License to Wed In Sioux City—Not Valid Here

Miss Anna DeVries and John S. Dykstra were married in Sioux City on Friday,
Sept. 15, by the Rev. John Holwerda at the parsonage of the Christian
Reformed church. They had obtained their marriage license in Sioux City
earlier in the week and returned to Orange City with the intention of being
married here, but found that the Iowa law requires that a couple be married
in the county in which their license is secured. They were accompanied to
Sioux City by the bridegroom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Marra; his
sister, Miss Jessie Dykstra; the bride’s sisters, The Misses Clara and
Jessie DeVries of Marion, N.D., and Leonard Wilkins and George Boom, also of
Marion. The double ring ceremony was used. In the evening a reception was
held in honor of the newlyweds at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Marra. The
bride is employed in the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Kolyn and the bridegroom
on the Joe Steensma farm at Carnes. For the present at least they will
continue working in their respective places.
