St. Ansgar, Iowa Enterprise - October 26, 1927
   The Mona Lutheran church was the scene of an exceptionally pretty wedding 
Wednesday evening at six o'clock, October 19th, when Miss Genevieve Clairbel 
Hanson, daughter of Mr. Carl Hanson, became the bride of Mr. Raymond Lenord C. 
Nelson.
   The beautiful double ring service was used.  The Rev. O. M. Langehough, 
pastor of the Lutheran church, read the service in the presence of a gathering 
of relatives and intimate friends of the bride and groom.
   "I Love You Truly" was sung by Rev. O. M. Langehough, accompanied by Mrs. 
Rev. O. M. Langehough.
   As the bridal party entered the church, Miss Hattie Hanson, a cousin of the 
bride, played Mendelssohn's wedding march.
   The bridal couple was attended by Miss Clarice Hanson, cousin of the bride, 
maid of honor and Miss Lila Nelson, sister of the groom, bride's maid.  Walter 
Eggen and Clifford, a cousin of the groom, acted as best men. Jean Nelson, a 
niece of the groom, acted as flower girl.
   The bride's gown was of white satin and silk shadow lace with rhinestone 
trimming.  She wore a veil and carried a shower bouquet of angelus, butterfly 
roses and swainsonia.  The maid of honor wore a gown of peach taffeta and the 
bride's maid wore a gown of yellow georgette embroidered in beads.  Both 
carried a large bouquet of pink and white carnations.  The flower girl was 
dressed in white and carried a basket of roses, carnations and sweet alysium.
   Following the ceremony an elaborate four course dinner was served at the 
home of the bride's father, at which covers were laid for fifty guests.  The 
dining rooms were decorated in pink and white, the flowers being pink roses.  
Dinner was served by Miss Alma Rasmussen and Mrs. Magnus Hanson, with Misses 
Amanda Holt, Hattie and Willetta Hanson and Clara Nelson as waitresses.
   Mr. & Mrs. Raymond Nelson left by auto Thursday afternoon for South Dakota 
and other points.  They will be at home to their many friends after November 
15th.
   The bride is one of the highly respected and esteemed young ladies of the 
community.  The groom is the youngest son of Mr. & Mrs. M. D. Nelson and one 
of the most popular and respected young men of Nevada township.
