HAPPILY WED

Mr. Helmer DAHL and Miss Marie OLSON Married on Thursday Afternoon

A very pretty wedding occurred at the United Conference Church
Thursday afternoon, when Miss Marie Olson and Mr. Helmer C. Dahl
were united in marriage by Rev. A. Meland. The ceremony took place
shortly after four o'clock and was witnessed by a host of friends
of the contracting parties.
The church had  been prettily decorated with potted plants and 
flowers and the service was beautiful and impressive. The bride
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Olson and has grown up to
young womanhood in this village. The groom is the only son of
Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Dahl and has for a number of years been one
of Otter Tail County's most efficient teachers. The young 
people are well known here and have the sincere respect of
the community.
The bride was attired in a dress of cream silk chiffon over
cream taffeta, and she carried white roses. The groom wore 
the conventional black with white vest. The bridesmaids
were Miss Tillie Tollefson, maid of honor, Miss Ida Gordon,
and Kate Vaglo, while the grooms attendants were Olaf Olson,
best man, Oscar Peterson and Nick Johnson. Mrs. Meland 
presided at the organ and Hannah Olson, a little sister of
the bride, acted as flower girl and strewed white sweet
peas before the bridal couple.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the bridal party and 
guests repaired to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Olson where
a reception was held and an elaborate wedding supper was
served. About 125 guests were in attendance and the festivities
continued until well along towards midnight. The happy couple
was recipients of many beautiful and costly gifts as tokens
of the esteem in which they are held.
They will make their home in this village for the present,
but with the opening of the school year, Mr. Dahl expects
to take charge of the school at Underwood.
The PRESS united with the many friends of the happy young
couple in wishing them a long and happy as well as prosperous
married life.
