marriage OF Rev. Jordahl to Miss Anna
Eggs So'smnized Thursday Even
ing at Synod Church..
The marriage of Miss Anna Egge,
OF this city, to Rev. D. c. Jordahl,
pastor of the Norwegian Lutheran
Synod congregations at Norway Lake
and Sunburg, was solemized at the
Synod church in this city last
Thursday evening, at six o'clock.
Rev. j. N. Andersen performed the
ceremony in the presence of relatives
and friends that filled the large church
building. The nuptial music was fur
nished by Prof. Haldor Hanson, who
sounded the strains of the Lohengrin
Wedding March as the bridal party
entered. Two little ribbon girls,
Edna Kiland and Genevieve Hilleboe,
came first and stretched white ribbons
along the main aisle. Following them
came two flower girls, Helen Tallman
and Florence Dale of Renville, who
scattered flowers in the path of the
bride. The bride then followed, lean
ing on the arm of her nephew, Mr..
William T. Markhus, who gave her
away in marriage. AS they ap-
preached the altar they passed between
the lines of little girl attendants and
were met by the pastor and groom.
The bridal pair stood under wedding
bell of white asters as the marriage
service was read.
Following the beautiful and impress
sive wedding service reception was
held for the bridal couple, in the
church parlors in the basement. This
was rendered by the Ladies Aid So
ciety and the Young Peoples society,
of which organizations the bridewas a
member. Nearly 200 guests were pres
ent to offer congratulations and to ex-
tend their best wishes to the bride and
groom.
The church was beautifully deco
rated in fall flowers and green's. The
church parlors especially presented
an attractive appearance in their deco
rations of potted plants and cut dow-
ers and also American and Norwegian
flags The tables at which the we'd
ding supper was served we're most ar
tistically decorated. Over that at
which the bridal party sat were sus-
pended two red floral bells. During
the evening a program of speeches
and music was carried out. Addresses
were made by Revs. Andersen, Chr.
Peterson of Benson, Waller of
Grove City, Tolo of Belgrade, DR..
eG STA a. Hansoneof Rem.
vile and Prof. Geo. Markhus of Min
neapolis. Rev: Andersen opened the
speech-making by the presentation to
the bridal couple of a silver bread
tray on which were several pieces of
silver money. This gift came from
the Ladies' Aid society and was very
suggestive of the brides long service
as a collector at the church cotfees
given by the society and was presented
by the pastor in humorous manner.
A solid oak leather upholstered rock
ing chair was a gift which came from
the Young Peoples society. The bri-
dal couple received in addition to
these many handsome and useful gifts
which testified to the high esteem in
which they are held. The program
for the evening included vocal solo
by Miss Helen Sather and piano Sc
lection by Miss Laura Jorgenson.
Among the out-of-town guests were
the following: Mr.. and Mrs. II. j.
Dale and Prof. and Mrs. G. A. Han
son, of Renville; Rev. and Mrs. Chr.
Peterson, of Benson; Rev. Waller, OF
Grove City; Prof. and Mrs. George
Markhus, of Minneapolis; Rev. and
Mrs T. O. Tolo, of Belgrade; Ole
Boe and Miss Anna Railson, of Nor
way Lake.
Rev. and Mrs. Jordahl departed on
the late train for a wedding trip,
which included Duluth and other
points. They are expected back this
week and will then go to their home
at Norway Lake. The best wishes OF
a host of friends in this city will &C.
company the bride, who has made her
home here for many years.
