The wedding of Miss Mayme Johnson, daughter of Mrs. Martha Johnson, and Karl Oesterle, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Oesterle, was quietly celebrated this morning at 8 o'clock in the First Presbyterian church, the Rev. Harry N. Wilson, formerly of Muncie, now of St. Paul, Minn., officiating.

Mr. Bert Summers played the Lohengrin wedding march for the entrance of the bridal party. During the service a program of wed­ding music was played, the closing number being the Mendelssohn wedding march.

The bride wore an exquisite gown of soft white material trimmed in imported lace and hand-embroidered medallions. Her long tulle veil which entirely enveloped her, was caught with a spray of lillies of the valley and she carried a shower bouquet of lillies of the valley.

Her only attendant was her cousin Miss Harriet Johnson. Miss John­son’s gown was of pink voille and she carried a bouquet of pink roses. The bride’s gift to her attendant a bracelet. Mr. Eugene Oesterle, brother of the groom, was best man. The groom’s gift to him was engraved gold cuff buttons.

The bridal altar was banked with greenery in which were two enorm­ous bouquets of white bride’s flow­ers veiled with tulle. The guests’ pews were marked by streamers of smilax with bouqets [sic] bouquets of white bride's flowers fastened with tulle at the ends of the pews.

The ushers were Lloyd Kim­brough, Phillip McAbee, Will Thompson and Frank Kimbrough.
