The Washington Republican Washington County Friday December 14, 1900 Soren--Harris. Wednesday of this week the marriage of Mr. Edward SOREN, of Palmer and Miss Helen HARRIS of Day was solemnized at the bride's home at noon in the presence of more than one hundred invited guests, Rev. FISHER, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Clifton, officiating. When the hour arrived for the wedding an effort was made to get the people in the parlors to witness the happy event, but there were far too many people to get in the rooms, so the bride and groom stood in the door way and the people stood in the yard, rather cool, but the people enjoyed it. The ceremony seemed long under the circumstances, but nevertheless it was impressive, being the ring ceremony. The bride was beautifully attired in a pale blue silk dress and the groom in the customary black suit, and they presented a pleasing and nice appearance. After congratulations a rich and bounteous wedding dinner was served. It was one of those old fashioned, rich, well prepared dinners, such as our mothers used to p! repare years ago, and the people who had been accustomed to such dinners appreciated it. The guests comprised all of the neighbors of the Soren and Harris families and special friends from Clifton, Palmer and Washington, so it was a happy, good natured oldtimed neighborhood gathering. Mr. and Mrs. SOREN were kindly remembered by all their guests, and received a large collection of useful as well as valuable wedding presents. The groom is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Hans. SOREN, of Palmer, is a bright young man and one well thought of by all who know him. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.T. HARRIS, who are among the early settlers of the county, a family highly respected by all their neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Soren will move on a farm just west of Palmer. May their married life be one of joy and usefulness.
