... the day it all began. June 29, 1962. Lamar and Margie with their parents, in one of the few color photos from the wedding. Below, is a larger group shot, those featuring the bridesmaids and a couple more shown a little later. You can see all the wedding photos in Dropbox (1962 folder) to enlarge or see individual pictures.
Back in the day, the newspaper would write up weddings for free (as well as births and obituaries). The article includes quite a bit of information (including the addresses of the parents) and the fact that "the bride wore a gown of lace and tulle highlighted with pearl and sequin trim. Her veil cascaded from a pearl-studded headdress."
... more pictures from the wedding reception ...
... the little flower girls are Kathy and Kerry Howell. In addition to family (Nelva, Sharon and Diane for bridesmaids and Steven, Kent and Merrill for groomsmen) Mom/Margie's good friend Judy Shultz and Dad/Lamar's buds Frank Willardsen and Richard Van Wagonen flushed out the wedding party.
Both sets of grandparents on Margie's side were able to attend.
Let them eat cake!
The actual wedding invitation/announcement isn't saved in Dropbox (if it turns up somewhere, let me know!) but going through one of the family boxes, a personalized napkin from the reception was found and scanned in. You can see it below, along with a few other random wedding pictures.
... in addition to the napkin, this collage features the bouquet toss (nice catch! the flowers and the photo!), Mom's cousin Diana Brady there at the guest book, and of course ... the car!
