A pretty wedding was solemnized Tuesday morning, August 20, 1935, at Immaculate Conception Church when Miss Mary Elizabeth Meisinger, daughter of Mrs. Paul E. Meisinger, became the bride of Ambrose John Selker, son of Mrs. J.W. Selker, the Reverend A. A. Fischer officiating. 

The bridal party entered the church to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Agnes Meisinger. The groom has for his best man his brother, Vincent G. Selker. The ushers were Francis X. Zacherl and Paul E. Trunk.

The bride's gown was of white lace and her tulle veil was banded with orange blossoms. She carried white lillies. Her bridesmade wore a creation of blue chiffon with lace tunic and smart turban of same material. She carried pink gladioli, tailsman roses and blue delphinium. 

The wedding breakfast was served at the Hotel Anderson.
