MUCK-HARMONY

10     A very pretty wedding was solemized[sic] at the residence of Mrs. Nellie M. Muck at her home on North D. Street, on last Wednesday evening when Mrs. Muck gave in marriage, her daughter, Miss Mamie Ellen, to Mr. Chas. A. Harmony.
     The house was beautifully and tastefully decorated throughout. The Parlor, in which the ceremony took place, was in white and and was a bower of white Chrysanthemums, and near the center of which was a large electric bell, under which stood the bridal couple while making their marriage vows.
     Canary was the prevailing color of the drawing doom, while that of the dining room was red.
     The reception room, in which was placed the presents, which were many, beautiful and not a few quite costly, was decorated in green.
     The bride was beautifully attired in a rich white silk dress, with veil and orange blossoms. The only jewelry worn being a massive bracelet, presented by the groom, while she bore in her hand a large bouquet of Bridal roses.
     Miss Pearl Foster of South Bend was maid of honor, and was tastefully attired in blue silk, and who carried a bouquet of white Chrysanthemums.
     Misses Mildred Christensen and Eula Kahler were the ribbon girls.
     Promptly at 5 o'clock, the bridal party passed the parlor, keeping step to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March, beautifully rendered by Miss Ruth Baker, and took their places beneath the large electric bell, where, in accordance with the ritual of the M.E. Church, they took the vows that made them one. The Rev. F.S. Pearson, assisted by the Rev. A.J. Joselyn, officiating.
     After the usual congratulations, dainty refreshments were served, after which music and a good social time was enjoyed by all until a belated train carried the happy couple to the Sound cities and to the home of the parents of the groom.
     Among the guests present, were Mr. and Mrs. D.D. Harmony, parents of the groom, Rev. and Mrs. F.S. Pearson, Rev. A.J. Joslyn, Mr. and Mrs. Guy W. Muck, Mrs. H. Kahler, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hubbard, Mrs. Norman Gilkey, Mrs. Wm. Christensen, Mr. and Mrs. F.F. Robbins, Mr. and Mrs. R. L.

C.R. Fowler, John Benedict, Oscar Endell, J.E. Brafford, Glenn Norman, W.D. Bay, and W.W. Dickerson.
     Both bride and groom are very popular with the young people of the city, the bride being the youngest child and only daughter of Mrs. Nellie M. Muck, an estimable widow, has for six years been a member of the M.E. Church, of this city, of which church she has been an active member for several years. She is a native of Kansas.
     The groom is a native of the state of Wisconsin, but came to this Coast about five years ago. He is an expert electrician, having installed several electric plants on the Coast, and for the past eight months has been chief electrician for the City's Municipal plant.
     Mr. and Mrs. Harmony will be at home to their friends after February first, next.
     A rather remarkable coincidence, not noted until the day of the wedding, was that the parents of Mr. Harmony, were married at the same hour of the same day of the week and month just forty years ago.
