February 9, 1952

I'm working on some photo archiving for a family & in with their old pictures was this article printed in the paper about their grandparent's wedding. The part below made my mind wander to that beautiful day.

Excerpts from a well-preserved but slightly tattered newspaper clipping from Saturday, February 9th, 1952:

"A suit of brown gabardine was worn by Miss Lyla K., Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar K., when she became the bride of Minor H., son of Lars H. of the Rushford vicinity and the late Mrs. H., in a double-ring ceremony Jan. 26 at the Lutheran Parsonage. A white Bible on which was placed a lavender orchid showered with white ribbon, was carried by the bride. She wore a corsage of orchids. For her maid of honor the bride chose her sister, Miss Orpha K. who attended her in a black crepe dress. She wore a corsage of red-tinted gardenias and red tea roses."
