A Large Wedding.
New London Times:
The marriage of Mr. Emil Johnson, one of our prosperous merchants, 
to Miss Mary Thompson, daughter of J. P. Thompson, occurred at the 
Swed. Luth. church yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock, and the 
occasion proved to be the most happy and auspicious social event 
of the season.
Miss Mary Green and Alice Gustafson were the bridesmaids, while 
the groom was attended by Messers. France Gustafson and Peter G. 
Thompson. The church had been very attractively decorated for the 
occasion with a profusion of flowers and leaves.
After the impressive ceremony, Rev. Collin, who officiated, 
delivered a few short and very appropriate remarks to the newly 
married couple, after which the invited guests betook themselves 
to the home of the bride's parents where a bounteous dinner awaited 
them. The day was a beautiful one and everybody enjoyed themselves 
much during the afternoon. In the evening a delicious supper was 
served, and later the guests began to depart for their homes, all 
sincerely entertaining the best wishes for the young couple's future 
happiness.
