Wedding Wednesday-The Honeymoon Album

In last week's post I had a photo of the family seeing the bride and groom off on their Pocono Honeymoon from my parents wedding album. This is their Honeymoon album, October 1950

Wedding Wednesday-Seeing the Bride and Groom Off

I know you do not see a bride nor groom! But this is from my parent's wedding album. The lady holding the handbag is my grandmother and next to her is my grandfather, James and Tess Gunther McCarry. With them are some family and friends all at the front door of their South Philly home to see my parents off to the Pocono Mountains for their Honeymoon

Wedding Wednesday-Emil and Catherine Gunther

Philadelphia Inquirer, 25 Sep 1897

I found this yesterday on Genealogy Bank. It was a great find. My great grandfather Emil Gunther is still a mystery is so many ways, but I am finding things slowly about him. I had gotten their marriage license last year when I went to the Philadelphia Archives. The license said that Catherine McCarron resides on Grays Ferry Rd(Ave), Philadelphia. Where this said she is from Norristown, a suburb of Philadelphia. 

Wedding Wednesday-Wedding Breakfast

Another photo from my parents' wedding album. This was their Wedding Breakfast in my grandparents' livingroom. I guess the wedding cake was transported again to the reception after being the centerpiece here.
