Al & Connie's Wedding


Oh, my!  Oh, my!  This is a true treasure.  This is a Wedding Book for Al and Connie's wedding.  I'm not going to take a picture of every page.  On the inside cover it says in bold letters, "The Frank Herschede Co."  8 Fourth St. West, Cincinnati, Ohio.  The book is called, "Our Wedding Memories."  The book has a copyright date of 1940.  The wedding was held on July 23, 1943, between Albert Wiswell Badanes and Corinne Claire Stollmaier.  It was in Trinity Church in Boston, Mass.
Do you know what I have decided to do?  I'm going to copy each page of the book.  It is beautiful.  I will also promise you I will put the book in a plastic cover to protect it.
I still think it is going to be nicer if I scan each page in the book.  Remember, you can click on the page and make it larger.
Is this beautiful or what!

I'm sorry, I am cutting off a little of the right hand side, but I think you can get the idea of what it is saying.
There were not a lot of guests at the wedding, but there sure were a lot of gifts.  Notice the check in front of each gift.  I have to believe that was Connie checking them off as she sent the Thank You card.
