A beautiful and impressive ceremony prescribed by the Lutheran church joined in holy bonds of matrimony the lives and fortunes of Karl Stoltenow of Spencer and Miss Irma Lemke of Cecil, Wis., last Saturday, June 20. The Rev. H. Munderloh was the officiating pastor. The wedding took place in the Lutheran church at Cecil, Wis., at 4 o’clock in the afternoon and was attended by many relatives and friends. The church was decorated with many flowers. Richard Engebrecht of Oconomowoc played the wedding march. The beautiful Lutheran hymn, “Jesus lead Though on” was sung by Mr. and Mrs. Richard Engebrecht.

The bride was gowned in white silk marquisette and veil and carried a shower bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley and was escorted to the altar by her father. Miss Phyllis Gandt of Oconomowoc served as maid of honor and Mrs. Reihard Dittner of Spencer and Miss Anita Korth of Stevens Point as bridesmaids. These attendants wore dresses of marquisette in harmonizing colors.
