Social Events.
Altenbernd-Gerstenberger.
One of the prettiest weddings of the season occurred last week Wednesday at the splendid farm residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gerstenberger, the occasion being the marriage of their daughter, Miss Mattie, to Mr. Carl Altenbernd of Kaw Valley. At '2 o'clock Lohengrin's wedding march was rendered by Miss Elsie Koelbing and the bridal party led by little Lelia Gabriel, looking like a fairy strewing flowers along their pathway, Carl Gerstenberger acting as best man and Miss Maggie Altenbernd as bride's maid, took their places under an arch of myrtle and wedding bells, and the vows were taken according to the beautiful rites of the Lutheran church, Rev. Koelbing officiating.
The bride was handsomely attired in a princess gown of white silk and lace and carried a shower bouquet of bridal roses; the groom wore the usual black.
The parlor was decorated in white streamers and wedding bells and the dining room in pink and white carnations and streamers. Immediately after the ceremony a sumptuous four-course dinner was served.
Mattie has grown to womanhood in our midst and is a lady of more than ordinary accomplishments. Carl is one of our best young farmers.
The solo, "Love Old Sweet Song," by Miss Viola Votaw before the ceremony and songs by Mrs. A. B. Conner after dinner lent special charm to the event.
About eighty guests were present. Those from a distance were: Mr. aud Mrs. Conrad Altenbernd of Lawrence, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hoetzel, Mr. Emil Hoetzel of Kausas City, Miss Minnie Thoren of Auckley, Iowa, Charlie Brazil and Carl Gerstenberger of Wichita
A great many useful presents were received. The community joins iu extending our hearty con-gratulations, wishing them a long prosperous and happy life.-B. A.6
