The County Line
A marriage on Saturday in Noblesville between ketchup and mustard should make Ripley’s Believe It or Not. It actually was the wedding of Tina Anderson, representing Red Gold ketchup producers, and Ray Woeber of Woeber’s mustard products.
The couple met years ago at a condiment convention if you can believe it. The bride lives in Elwood and the groom lives in Springfield, Ohio. They struck up a friendship that became a long-distance relationship which eventually resulted in Saturday’s wedding at Our Lady of Grace Church.
Tina is the daughter of the late Ernie and Fran Reichart, founders of Red Gold. She has two adult children by a previous marriage: AJ Anderson of Noblesville, and Ashlee Snyder of Carmel, who served as her mother’s matron of honor. There are four grandchildren.
Ray, with his brother Richard, operates Woeber’s mustard makers in Springfield. Ray had never been married. Richard served as best man in Saturday’s ceremony.
Following the wedding, a formal reception with dinner and dancing was held at the Noblesville Hilton Embassy Suites hotel.
To mark the symbolic and humorous union of ketchup and mustard, there was a table at the door of the reception where guests were offered a jar of Woeber’s mustard and a bottle of Red Gold ketchup.
The newlyweds are now enjoying a honeymoon in Florida.
