"The following account of the Pofahl-Arenson wedding reprinted from the Mankato Free Press, issue of Tuesday, Nov, 4 will be of interest to Brooten folks:
In the Swedish Lutheran Church, marriage vows were exchanged Sunday afternoon at two o'clock between Miss Francis Pofahl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gust Pofahl, 328 West Fifth St., and Mr. Walter W. Arenson of Brooten, Minn., who formerly was employed at the Lamm Drug Store at this place. Mr. Menville Imsdahl of Brooten, played the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin as the Processional and Mendelsohn's Wedding March as the recessional. The bride was gowned in a beautiful orchid color silk charmeuse which was further enhanced in beauty by a bridal veil of embroidered tulle. Her only ornament was a string of pearls. A shower bouquet of sweetheart roses tied with tulle made up the bride's bouquet. Miss Ida Wilder of Chicago, a cousin of the bride, who attended as bride's maid, wore a frock of blue canton crepe and she carried an arm bouquet of pink carnations tied with pink tulle. Mr. James G. Arenson of Brooten, a brother of the groom, acted as best man. Following the ceremony the bridal party and their guests went to the home of the bride where a wedding dinner was served at five o'clock. Covers were laid for one hundred guests. The table was beautifully decorated and a large wedding cake formed the centerpiece. The dining room colors used were lavender and white. Mr and Mrs. Arenson will be at home to friends after December first at Alexandria, Minn. where the groom is employed at the Boston Drug Store. The out of town guests were Mrs. Ida Arenson, mother of the groom, James and Mable Arenson of Brooten, brother and sister of the groom, Menville Imsdahl of Brooten, Mrs. C. Swift and family of Morristown, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Drager, grandparents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Prange and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Wilder, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Drager of Wells, Mr. L. A. Johnson of Minneapolis. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride. About 120 guests attended. The bride and groom are both well and favorably known in their home community where they have a host of friends who wish them every happiness as they journey down life's stream together." [1]
