A Dual Wedding

On November 18, 1944 at St. Josaphat's Church in Chicago, IL, my grandmother, Genevieve, and her sister, Mary, had a dual wedding. The photographs that follow are from the ceremony, as well as an article printed in the Christmas issue of Yarns published by the Chicago Printed String Company (where my grandmother and her sister worked).

Not sure who this lady is, but I love her ensemble.



Another candid shot, I love the baby's little coat.
