A Grand Affair — Over 100 Families invited Nearly 1000 People Participate. Schaumburg has had thirteen wed ings so far this year, and the one Thursday fully maintained her estab lished reputation for grand celebra tions of such important events. Over one hundred families gladly accepted the hearty invitation to attend and participate in the festivities. The rainy morning didn’t dampen their ar dor, so the sun came out bright and balmy weather smiled on the happy occasion. Mr. Henry G. Fasse, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb Fasse, and Miss Clara Gieseke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Gieseke, were unit ed in marriage by Rev. G. A. Mueller at the Schaumburg Lutheran Church at 11 o'clock a. m., Thursday, Sept. 10, 1905. The bride was beautiful in her handsome wedding gown of poi du soie white silk trimmed with satin and bouquets of bride’s roses. The groom is a handsome, stalwart man—a well mated pair who start life with bright prospects. They were attended by four couples, as follows: Misses Emilie Gieseke, Hermina Fenz, Amalia Fasse and Amanda Fasse, escorted respec tively by Messrs. Louis Fosse, Fred W. Gieseke, George Meyer and John Gieseke. After the ceremony the wed ding party rode in decorated carriages drawn by fine horses bedecked with plumes and ribbons galore, to the home of the groom's parents, where great preparations had been made for a grand banquet, dancing, games and so cial intercourse. Three mammoth tents, one with a smooth floor, where all who wished could dance to their heart’s content, another provided with tables for the card players—and the third covered two dining tables each sixty feet long. Everything had been provided for the comfort and pleasure of the guests, who were all in happy mood. Beer, cigars and lemonade were passed around, and there was an abundance. Prof. Wm. Pfingston’s celebrated or chestra furnished the music during the afternoon and evening. The banquet— dinner, lunch and supper, three meals was fit for a king: meats, salads, pies, cakes, angels, food, good coffee and all the delicious things to eat, served under the direction of that popular caterer, Mrs. Henry Hart mann. Photographer Rudolph Schering took several pictures, some of which will appear in the Sunday Staats Zeitung, which sent a special reporter to write up the affair. The Germans are money makers and lavish their wealth gen erously on such occasions. Mr. Gottlieb Fasse will soon move to his new home at Schaumburg Center and leave the farm in charge of his son and lovely bride. The Register wishes all long life, happiness and prosperity.
