St. Ansgar IA Enterprise - July, 1932
  The home of Mr. & Mrs. H. N. Gaarder in Osage, IA was the scene of a wedding 
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock when their niece, Miss Alice Fossey, daughter of 
Otto Fossey, was united in marriage with Mr. Vernon Smesrud, son of Mr. & Mrs. 
H. E. Smesrud.  The double ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. O. M. 
Langehough of Lyle, MN in the presence of 40 relatives and friends.
   Preceding the ceremony, a violin solo "Souvenir" was played by Bruce 
Lybarger, and "I Love You Truly" was sung by Marie Smesrud, a sister of the 
bridegroom.  Grace Martin, a cousin of the bride, played the wedding march 
from "Lohengrin". 
   The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a white 
embroidered organdy dress and carried a bouquet of Ophelia roses.  She was 
attended by her sister, Miss Irene Fossey, of Mason City, who wore a dress of 
yellow embroidered eyelet and carried white roses.  The bridegroom was 
attended by Lawrence Priem.
   At the close of the ceremony, a trio composed of Bruce Lybarger, violinist; 
Elaine Gaarder, cellist; and Doris Dieterich, pianist, gave a group of 
selections.
   After the wedding, a two course luncheon was served by the Misses Hazel 
Sedlacek, Kathryn Norby, Edna and Loraine Mundt, Dorothy Best and Anita 
Gaarder.  The color scheme of yellow and white was carried out.  The wedding 
cake, which was baked by the bride's grandmother, Mrs. Chris Hansen of Osage, 
was cut by the bride and a piece given to each guest.
   The bride is a graduate of Osage high school and since her graduation has 
been assisting her father.  The bridegroom graduated from St. Ansgar high 
school in 1926 and for the past five years has been employed by the Swift 
Produce Company.
   On Friday morning the couple left for a trip to Wisconsin.
