After the church ceremony the bridal party motored to the home of the bride’s parents, where a reception for 20 guests was held. Their home was decorated with season flowers and bridal colors, white, blue, green, yellow, and pink.

In the evening they gave a free dance at the Spillville Inwood to their relatives and many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Backes will make their future home at St. Lucas. Their host of friends wish Mr. and Mrs. Backes a long and happy married life.
