Victor E. Newman. The church was beautifully decorated with roses and sweet peas. As the strains of the bridal from Lohengrin, played by Miss Elsie Sick, floated through the church, the bride entered on the arm of her father. She wore a dainty girlish frock, satin back crepe, trimmed with silk shadow lace. Her tulle veil was held in place by tiny rosebuds. She carried a shower bouquet of roses and ferns, which was tied with streamers, caught up with rose buds. The matron of honor, Mrs. Earnest Asmussen, wore green crepe and carried sweet peas. The bride was given away by her father. Lester Asmussen attended the groom as best man. The Rev. Thos. Ashworth, Rector of St. James' Church, performed the ceremony. Upon leaving the church, the party drove out to the country home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Asmussen, where a three-course wedding dinner was served. The house was profusely decorated with summer flowers. Centering the bride's table was a large yellow and white wedding cake, rose trimmed, the work of Mrs. Lester Seawell. The favors in the wedding cake went to Mrs. Henningsen, Mrs. Ashworth, Mr. Diederichsen, Mrs. Henry Hansen, and the bride's bouquet was caught by Miss Viola Henningsen. After a hearty charivari the young couple departed to have their pictures taken, promising to return later to the party. This promise they failed to keep, instead slipped quietly away for a honeymoon to parts unknown. The bride is the daughter of Mr.and Mrs. C. F. Asmussen and a graduate of Payette High School. After a year at University of Idaho, she took a course at Link's Business College in Boise. The groom has for the past few years filled the pulpit of St. John's Evangelical Church and has lately accepted a call to Coshocton, Ohio, where he and Mrs. Newman will be at home after August 1. About forty- five guests attended the wedding. The Independent joins their host of friends in extending hearty congratulations and best wishes.
