Fantastic! From a closet underneath a bunch of stuff, found it today only a couple of hours ago. It's a good one isn't it? God bless them. My mom had written on the back it was June 25,1949. Thanks for posting! Really looks great!

Mr. T said - Definite christmas in July. June 25, 1949 was Paul and Loree's wedding day so it would have to be correct. Probably a hall that is part of Ressurection Church in Lansing.

Yeah I figure your right, at resurrection church in Lansing on Mi. Ave. I pass by there quite frequently lately as it's on my way to medical appts. I is a great find though.

And then after the celebration uncle Vane chasing their car on foot down the street as they are driving off to Niagra Falls, As per 8mm footage we've seen of that day,hahaha.

Mr. T said - A pretty snockered Uncle Vane, according to the late Paul Timlin, as i recall. Vane was kidding around, wanting to go with them, under the influence of course. Must have been quite funny at the time and a good memeory to mom and dad. I think that's why Dad liked Vane so much, he made him laugh. Tomorrow july 14 marks 6years since Dad passed away. now it seems like 20 to me. Everything in the past is just seeming to fade away. If it wasn't for this blogsight, we'd all be without documented memories and probably will forget stuff. now I know how our parents felt at our age! I really did not want to know, but now I do!
