WEDDING OF POPULAR
YOUNG FOLKS

A very charming wedding took
place at the Main Street Lutheran
church ON Thursday afternoon at
o'clock, August 31st, when Miss Marie
Sauwick was united in marriage to
Mr.. Theodore F. Paulsen. The we'd
ding was of special interest to a host
of Viroqua friends as the bride IS
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. I. i. San
wick, Mr.. Sanwick being one OF our
we'll known business men. The groom
is 9, SON of our Register Of Deeds, Paul
T. Paulsen and wife.
Shortly before the appointed time a
large company of relatives and friends
were ushered to their respective places
by Messrs, Otto Sanwick and Otto
Paulsen, brothers of the bride and
Z groom. The church was beautifully
decorated with asparagus fern and
garden flowers which together with
the altar created a most pleasing eff
feet.
As the audience was waiting the
beautiful words of ooh, Promise Me-,
was sung with alike beauty of melody
and expression by Miss Esther Will
Hams accompanied by Miss Avis Brew
er on the piano. As the last soft tone
had vanished and at the first strains
of Lohengrin's wedding march the
ushers took their places at the foot of
the chancel as the bridal party made
their appearance at the main entrance
Mrs. Julia Flikke, aunt of the bride,
wearing Japanese silk gauze over pink
satin and carrying an arm bouquet of
pink roses was matron of honor. Miss
Marie johnson of Westby, in a white
Georgette gown and Miss Lillian
Stanke, of Edgerton, in flame colored
taffeta carrying arm bouquets of pink
roses were bridesmaids.
Marie Louise and Paul Sanwick,
niece and nephew of the bride, scat
tered flowers ahead of the bride, who
came in attended by her father. The
brides gown was a hand embroidered
princess lace brought from the Phil
ippines. This was draped over white
satin. A beautiful veil caught up
with orange blossoms enhanced the
loneliness of the bride. At the altar
the groom, attended by his best man,
Mr.. Chester Paulsen, awaited her.
The beautiful and impressive mar
riage ritual, authorized by the Luth-
eran Church of America, was read by
Rev. l.. F. Hammer. After the bene-
diction was pronounced the song 81
Love Thee Truly" was beautifully rem
dered by Miss Esther Williams, ac-
companied by Miss Avis Brewer at the
piano, and the sweet strains of the
Iohengrin again filled the edifice as
the bridal party descended from the
altar.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bridal party with guests proceeded
to the church parlors where congratu-
lations were extended to the newly
welded couple. The parlors were very
beautifully decorated and a dainty
wedding dinner was served at artis-
tically laid tables to about ninety
guests. During the dinner Mr. Stan
ley Side and Mr., Theodore Stevens
gave several classical selections in
instrumental music, which was highly
appreciated. Some of the younger
friends of the bride assisted in the
serving. They were the Misses Bes-
sic Jacobson ,Eath Lauder, Hilda Love-
rud, Emma Loverud, Margaret Hull
