March 4 — Do you have marriage records for your grandparents or great-grandparents? Write a post about where they were married and when. Any family stories about the wedding day? Post a photo too if you have one.
I have marriage records for both sets of grandparents. My father’s parents, John & Elizabeth (below) were married in Duquesne, (Allegheny County) PA in January 1915 in SS. Peter & Paul Byzantine Catholic Church. He was 21 and she was 18. I don’t have any stories but do have a photo (see below).
My mother’s parents, John & Veronica, were married on November 1,1924 in St. Nicholas Church in Barton, OH. Their wedding and reception lasted for three days. I wrote about their marriage in my book Three Slovak Women.

First I want to thank you for hosting this wonderful daily blog. And, second, I am envious of your wedding photos. I have none….note even of my own parents.
AWESOME photographs! I cannot imagine the effort that went into creating those head dresses – thanks so much for sharing.
