Marriage of Mathilda Tendick and Frederick Moehlmann 1893

There isn't much documentation for the marriage of my great grandparents.  Mathilda had gone to the big city of Indianapolis leaving the home farm of her parents shortly after her immigration to the States from Germany in 1889.

It's not really known how she met her future husband, but there is a picture of her with her future sister-in-law. So it may have been through that relationship. Both ladies were name Mathilda.

Just two weeks before their wedding, Fred purchased a home.

The notice in the paper for the couple getting there marriage license is the only mention of them in the paper.  Fred was 25 and Matilda was 22. No  wedding announcement was made. They were married in Indianapolis, not Greene county where her parents lived.  I don't even know if other family members attended.
