Two More Weddings in Progress

March 8, 1936  We went to church.  In the afternoon there was a church service.  Anna R. Friesen was accepted into church membership.   In the evening we went to Mrs. K. B. Reimer.  Abram E. Friesens from Mexico were there.

Anna R. Friesen was accepted as a member of the Meade Kleine Gemeinde congregation.  Very likely her membership was transferred from the sister KG congregation in Mexico, although we do not know for sure.  If that is true, her transfer letter would have been presented to the congregation, and she would have been accepted into membership.  This was the last hurdle that needed to be cleared for her to marry their son Jake. 

In the evening, the Siemens went to Mrs. K. B. Reimer’s for more important discussions because their son Corney was planning to marry Mrs. K. B. Reimer’s daughter Margaret.  They would have planned the engagement party and the wedding.  They would have discussed which guests to invite and planned how they would make all the food.  They probably picked the songs and the sermon text and discussed which preachers they would like to ask to perform the ceremonies.  Their schedule for March 1936 was packed indeed.
