“Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Teslow request the honor of your presence at the marriage ceremony of their daughter Ida Amanda to Mr. Gust Edgar Arness, on Thursday afternoon, June the third, at two o’clock nineteen hundred and nine, Glenwood Norwegian Lutheran church.” Such was the invitation that brought together about three hundred friends and relatives to witness the marriage ceremony. The church was decorated with flowers and green and it was indeed beautiful. As the wedding party came into church immediately preceding the bride were the maids of honor. The bride was dressed in a gown of white, trimmed with lace and wore a flowing bridal veil. She car{r}ied a lovely bouquet of roses. At the alter she was met by the groom and the solemn marriage ceremony that made them husband and wife was pronounced. The procession was then led by the young married couple followed by those having cards, “Reception at the home of bride’s parents,” where the wedding supper was served. This event marks the most important milestone in their lives. Another home is made, a new start in life is commenced under the most favorable conditions and circumstances. We wish them long life and speak for them much happiness.
