Thursday afternoon, November 16 at 1 o'clock at the Hesper Lutheran church the wedding of Miss Emma Elvene Aasum to Clarence E. Iverson was soleminized by Rev. Ivar Havneros. The church was tastefully decorated in white and green. To the softly played strains of Mendelssohn wedding march the bride and groom, with bridesmaid, Miss Palma Tingelsdal and best man, Carl Aasum entered the church. The bride was tastefully dressed in white messaline and georgette and veil trimmed with smilax. The groom and best man wore the conventional blue suits. The bridesmaid wore a tasteful dress of white taffeta canton crepe.

After the ceremony about 200 guests gathered at the hospitable farm home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Ellen Aasum and enjoyed an "old tyme" wedding. The bride is the only daughter of Mrs. Ellen Aasum and the groom the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Iverson of Mabel, Minn. The home was tastefully decorated in pink and white streamers with white bells. A sumptious four course luncheon was served at 3:30, followed by a delicious midnight supper, at which the bride passed around the wedding cake. The guests enjoyed themselves until the wee small hours. Best wishes of a long and happy wedded life.
