Kuhlen - Thomas

At a pretty wedding solemnized at 8:30 o'clock this morning at St. Bonaventure's church Miss Verona Thomas, daughter of Ferdinand Thomas, of Columbus, became the bride of Henry Kuhlen, of Platte Center. Rev. Fr. Athanase, pastor, read the marriage lines for the double ring wedding, and was celebrant at the nuptial high mass.

Their attendants were Miss Katherine Kuhlen, of Platte Center, sister of the bridegroom, who was the maid of honor, and Miss Rosalie Schumacher, niece of the bridegroom, who was the bridesmaid. Joseph Thomas, brother of the bride, was the best man, and Paul Schumacher, nephew of the bridegroom, was the groomsman. The bride's dress was fashioned of... [part of article is missing] row of white satin buttons from the neck to a point below the waistline closed the coat in a fitted style. The lace sleeves, full at the shoulder, tapered in to a point over the hand. She wore a three-quarter length veil of silk illusion, edged with lace, and the cap was trimmed with an off-the-face brim of lace and satin rings. She carried a bouquet of red roses and white gladoli.

In keeping with the bridal custom, "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue," was carried out in her apparel. A beautiful garnet and gold ring, over 100 years old, belonging to Mr. Kuhlen's grandmother, and her new dress, were the something old and something new, while she borrowed the veil from a friend, and wore a blue handkerchief.

Miss Kuhlen wore a rose colored corded taffeta dress with a long skirt that was cut along high waisted lines in front. The only trimming was a rhinestone clip at the point of the "V" neckline in front, and short puffed sleeves completed the style. She wore a wreath of pink rose buds in her hair, and carried a bouquet of rose colored asters and white gladioli.

Miss Schumacher's dress was a lovely summer formal gown of blue taffeta, with a gored skirt that was of floor length. Her dress also had a high waistline, short puffed sleeves and a "V" neckline trimmed with a rhinestone clip. She wore a wreath of blue flowers in her hair, and carried a bouquet of peach colored asters and white gladioli.

At 11 o'clock this morning, a three course wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride's brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Everett Jones, 1669 Twenty-ninth avenue. Covers were laid for 14 guests at one large table, centered with a large white wedding cake topped with a miniature bride and bridegroom, and surrounded with red rose buds. A color scheme of white, pink and blue, was used in the appointments, and a wedding bell was suspended from the chandelier.

After the breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas [should be Kuhlen] left on a week's motor trip to Denver and other points in Colorado. Upon returning, they will make their home on the bridegroom's farm, four miles northwest of Platte Center. Mrs. Kuhlen moved to Columbus to make her home five years ago. She came here from Creston, after a year's residence there. Before that time the family resided in Humphrey where she received her schooling. Mr. Kuhlen, a well-known young farmer in the community north of Platte Center, has lived there all of his life.

On Sept. 10, Mr. and Mrs. Kuhlen will entertain at a wedding dance at Shady Lake.

Mrs. Kuhlen's sister and brother, Mrs. Paul Franks and Fred Thomas, both of Sioux City, Ia., were here for the wedding.
