THE TWAIN ONE

Marriage of Charles A. Wernli and Ella Bryan.

"Happy is the bride whom the sun shines on." The sun never shown brighter than yesterday at the wedding of Miss Ella Bryan to Charles A. Wernli. The ceremony was performed at the Congregational church at five o'clock. The church was elaboraqtely decorated with flowers and greenhouse plants and was filled with wedding guests from the large circle of friends of the contracting parties. J. R. Street, Ed. A. Dalton, E. P. Sammis and Alex Rechmann in full dress suits met the guests at the door and ushered them to seats. To the joyous strains of mendelssohn's wedding march, artistically rendered on the pipe organ by Mrs. Walter Baily, the wedding party marched up the aisle to the altar, where Rev. Jas. E. Snowden pronounced the impressive words of the marriage ceremony. The bridal couple were accompanied by Geo. D. Wernli, the groom's brother as groomsman and Miss Emma Kehrberg as bridesmaid. The bride was dressed in ivory silk with lace trimmings, roses, white kid shoes and gloves. The bridesmaid in pink landsdown.

The wedding party moved out of the church to the music of Tannhauser's wedding march and took a hack for the home of Geo. B. Richardson where a reception was given for the young couple. Refreshments were served and congratulations extended. The large array of beautiful presents attracted its share of admiration.

Mr. and Mrs. Wernli took the evening train for Chicago, but will be back to LeMars in a few days and soon go to housekeeping in their residence recently purchased by Dr. Ensminger.

The bride and groom are among the most popular and worthy young people in the city and a host of friends will wish them all the joys of life.
