On the Occasion of our 58th Wedding Anniversary I Remember

I had finished teaching in Fort Dodge and Mike was graduated from Wm Penn.  I was back in Storm Lake and Mike had started at Lutheran Lakeside Camp.  We were 22.

There was something about the wedding license and three days and Mike got it!

My dad had painted the concrete walls in the new house basement.  He was sick. I also think he had an appendicitis attack…untreated.

My matron of honor took my plain old nightgown and put in pretty one!

I had a hair appointment…a set!  I had only had haircuts and one permanent at a beauty shop previously.  I came home and didn’t like it so I combed it out.

Pr. Holmquist, the camp director, sang at our wedding.

Mike and the groomsmen slept at the neighbors.

After the reception at church Mom and Dad hosted supper at their new house.  People had to walk through the neighbors’ yards since they were paving the street.

The bridal party ate in the very new and clean garage!

In the food line Mike’s Dad asked if he had enough money.

On the way out of town, Mike stopped at a car wash!

We stayed in a motel…and even went to church Sunday morning and showed up at camp on Monday.

About a month later, I passed out in the kitchen, and everyone thought I was pregnant. I wasn’t!
