WEDDING
FRASIER - PEARSON
A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Frasier Wednesday, November 7, at 4:30 P.M. when their daughter, Thelma, became the bride of Mr. Herman Pearson, son of Mrs. Clara Pearson. Baskets of white and pink chryshemums and lighted white tapers tied with pink tulle to which Vivia Frasier and Leroy Pearson stretched pink ribbons, formed the background in the living room, where the bridal pair and guests gathered for the ceremony. Rev. A. H. Peterson officiated, using the double ring ceremony.
Miss Iradelle Engstrom played the nuptial music and Mr. Irvin Pearson brother of the groom, sang, "Oh Promise Me." The couple were unattended and the bride was lovely in a gown of dark blue transparent velvet and carried an arm bouquet of pinoses.
A two course dinner was served by Mrs. Joe Brown and Mrs. Thurman Martin following the ceremony to the following immediate relatives and friends: Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Fraiser and family, Rev. A. H. Peterson, Mrs. Clara Pearson and Irvin, Mr. an Mrs. Elmer Pearson and children, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Brostrom and Donald, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Timmons and grandson Jay Timmons of Valley, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Frasier of Ashland, and Miss Iradelle Engstrom at tables decorated with pink roses and white candles.
Two groups of friends came out to charivari Mr. and Mrs. Pearson and offer felicitations. The couple left the same evening on a honeymoon trip to the Ozarks, after which they will make their home in Ceresco where the groom is employed at Siegt Garage. This paper extends wishes to the happy couple for much joy and prosperity in their life together.
*A mock serenade of dissonant noise done with kettles and tin horns meant to annoy. Generally when an older person married a very young person. From Webster's 1913 Dictionary. It is a celebration, where by beating drums or making loud noisesve evil spirits away from the newlyweds. Evil spirits are bad, and if allowed to enter the celebration they would cause bad luck. Loud noise and loud music chased the evil spirits away.
