1939 - Walter Mayer and Lillian Kurtz wedding day

I'm not sure where the ceremony took place but the picture is outside the Emil and Pearl Mayer home.  From left to right: Neil Mayer, Irene Kurtz, Walter Mayer, Lillian Kurtz, June Kurtz, and Erling Blyseth.  Mom told me Uncle Walter spent the morning working on engines so came into the house covered in grease and oil - took a bit to get cleaned up before the wedding.  Instead of a long wedding dress, Aunt Lillian wore her best church dress.  Just a guess but I'd bet the flowers came from the groom's mother's flower garden.

Liking the post very much. My sister organized her best friend's bridesmaid party at one of the glamorous wedding venues NYC recently. Bunting and ribbon matching to the balloons were decorated beautifully. Heart fondant cake with perfect icing was appealing and delicious too. Ordered baked snacks and champagne from quality places.
