AT the First Congregational church marriage vows were exchanged last evening between Miss Catherine Elizabeth Sweet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Sweet, 526 Eleventh avenue southeast, and Mr. Douglas Gilmore Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Anderson of this city. Cybotium ferns, palms and lighted cathedral candles furnished a beautiful setting for the ceremony which was solemnized at 8:30 o'clock in the presence of a large gathering of friends and relatives of the young couple.
Before the service and while the vows were being spoken Mr. Dean Fletcher, organist at the church, played a program of nuptial music, using "The Bridal Chorus" from "Lohengren" for the processional and Mendelssohn's wedding march as the recessional. Nuptial songs were sung by Mr. John Parcel.
The ushers, Messrs. Hart and Gillette Anderson, brothers of the bridegroom, Sidney Nelson, Warren Hamburg, Harvey MacFarland and John Coldsborough, were the first of the bridal party to enter. They were followed by the bride's two cousins, the Misses Betty Law of this city and Elizabeth Grierson of Mankata who as bridesmaids, entered alone, and who in turn were followed by Miss Margaret Sweet, sister of the bride, the maid of honor. Preceding her sister to the altar was little Helen Jane Sweet, the flowergirl.
The three bridal attendants wore gowns fashioned alike of chiffon in Dresden shades, Miss Sweet wearing pink veiled in white chantilly lace; Miss Law, lavender, and Miss Grierson, apple green. Their gowns were elaborated with rhinestone girdles and rosettes of chiffon and lace forming corsages. In their hair they wore rhinestone and chiffon headdresses. Miss Sweet carried a shower bouquet of pink sweet peas, lavender larkspur and baby breath while the other two carried arm bouquets of pink and lavender sweet peas and babybreath. Little Helen Jane wore a white lingerie frock and wore a pink ribbon band in her hair. She carried a French basket of roses.
The bride, who entered with her father, was met at the altar by the bridegroom and his best man, Mr. Alano E. Pierce. She was lovely in a gown of white moleskin crepe fashioned with an overdress of tulle. Wreaths of orange blossoms held at intervals with silver ribbons simulated a hoop effect on the skirt. The bodice was made long waisted with short puff sleeves of the tulle edged with orange blossoms. Over the long court train of crepe and tulle hung the veil of Brussells lace, procured by the bride when she was abroad last summer. The veil was arranged in cap effect and was held at either side with a spray of orange blossoms. A shower of lilies of valley and white sweet peas formed the bridal bouquet.
Immediately following the ceremony a wedding reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sweet and Mr. and Mrs. Anderson receiving with the bride and bridegroom. Mrs. Sweet wore a gown of cloth of silver and gray chiffon while Mrs. Anderson's gown was made of black chantilly lace over white. Southern smilax and baskets of garden flowers were used to decorate the rooms. A shower bouquet centered the bride's table in the dining room.
Mr. Anderson and his bride left on a motor trip to northern Minnesota. They expect to spend some time at the summer cabin of the bride's uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs. A. A. Law, at Blue Roch camp, on the north shore of Lake Superior and will alter motor to Port Arthur for two weeks. After September 1 they will be at home at 5042 Third avenue south, in a new home being built for them as a wedding gift from Mr. and Mrs. Sweet. For travel the bride is wearing a gray and white tweed dress, with a gray wrap and a black hat.
Both are graduates of the University of Minnesota.
Out-of-town guests who came for the wedding include Mr. and Mrs. Gillette Anderson, brother and sister-in-law of the bridegroom, Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Frank T. Hoerr, Mankato; Mrs. Clara Grierson and her daughter, Miss Elizabeth Grierson, Mankato, and Mrs. Albert Loomis, Springfield, Minn.
