Young Couple Plight Troth

Nature's choicest blessing, an ideal day, was granted Corneliuis F. Zechel of
this city and Miss Marian Lucille Zlatnik of Two Rivers for the plighting of
their troth and the wedding today was celebrated under most happy auspices. A
large assemblage of admiring friends attended the ceremony which was performed
at St. Luke's Catholic church in Two Rivers at 7 o'clock this morning, Rev.
Father Geisler officiating at the service. The attendants to the bridal pair
were Reinhardt Zechel and Miss Emma Zlatnik. Low mass was said and immediately
after the nuptial blessing had been pronounced, the bridal party was tendered a
wedding breakfast at the home of the bride's parents.
In the marriage of Mr. Zechel and Miss Zlatnik is a union that is gratifying to
friends and it consumates a courtship that had its birth in association of the
two musical events, both being accomplished musicians. Miss Zlatnik is a young
lady of brilliant ability and possesses in marked degree the qualities of the
artist and she has achieved much prominence as a vocalist at home and abroad.
She is a graduate of the Chicago Musical college and was for two years at the
Conservatory at Elmwoods, Buffalo, N.Y. Mr. Zechel, the groom, is one of
Manitowoc's most promising young men who has won success through his own personal
efforts and ability. He is a licensed pharmacist and has been with the Henry
Hinrichs Co. for nine years. Returning to the city after a stay in Illinois, Mr.
and Mrs. Zechel will take up their residence on North Fifth Street where they
will be at home to friends after January 15.
