Young People: From Houston Wed Here
Mrs. T. W. Brown of this city on Thursday evening of last week received a message from her son in Houston, stating that "We are leaving for Weimar. Have something good to eat, and have a preacher on hand." This message no doubt somewhat mystified the good mother, but we opine that she had a suspicion of what was to t follow. At any rate she went ahead and prepared a good supper 'and had her pastor, Rev. C. C. McKinney, on hand--for eventualities we suppose
About 10 o'clock a car drove up to the Brown residence, and Mr. Milton Booth, Mrs. Brown's son, and Miss Annie Bess Arbuckle, a popular young lady from Houston, stepped out. A few words to the mother, family and preacher, and the situation was explained. Milton and his pretty sweetheart had decided to get married, and they wanted Rev. McKinney to perform the ceremony. This the reverend gentleman did, and in a few moments the crowd was seated at the table and enjoying a magnificent wedding supper.
Supper over the young people stated they had decided to continue westward on a honeymoon trip to San Antonio. Eagle Pass and points in Mexico, so the folks at home were told good-bye and the young couple left on their trip. They were back In Weimar on Monday afternoon, en route to Houston, which city they will make their home.

Colorado Citizen, October 16, 1884Hollien & Regenbrecht
Our good friend, Chas Hollien, slipped off last week to Austin county, and on Wednesday was united in marriage to Miss Clara Regenbrecht, a popular and most accomplished lady of that county. He and his bride arrived home the latter part of the week, and friend Charley has since been busy explaining to his friends why he failed to notify them of the happy event. The writer had the pleasure a few days since of meeeting[sic] Mrs. Hollien, and found her a most pleasant lady, to know whom is to like her. Everybody knows Mr. Hollien, and while we feel that he has drawn a prize in the matrimonial lottery, we also feel that Mrs. Hollien has chosen wisely and well, for Mr. Hollien is a good man any way you take him. We wish them all manner of success and happiness for the future.

Colorado Citizen, November 25, 1880Horak & Harrell
Young Couple Are Wed Here Tuesday
The marriage of Miss Nona Harrell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Harrell of Osage, to Frank Horak, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Horak, Sr., of Wildwood, was solemnized here Tuesday morning, Nov. 26, at 8 o'clock at St. Michael's Church, with the Rt. Rev. Joseph Szymanski officiating.
Groomsmen were John Horak, Erwin Marek and Edwin Knebel. Bridesmaids included Misses Leona Horak, Billie Harrell and Irene Urban.
Witnesses were Mr. and Mrs. Leo Horak.
Honoring the young couple, a wedding dance is to be staged Saturday night. Nov. 30, at Billeck's Hall.
Mr. and Mrs. Horak are to live in Weimar.
An interesting sidelight on the wedding was the fact that it was to have been solemnized Monday. Excessive rains, however, which flooded creeks between Osage and Wildwood, made it impossible for the prospective groom to reach the bride-to-be. And so the event was postponed until Tuesday, at which time the wedding was solemnized on schedule.
