Wedding Wednesday: Rho, Bud, and Mare, June 1953

My uncle, Frank James "Bud" Streff Sr. (1925-2014), and his two oldest daughters, Rosemary "Rho" Jean Streff Grandusky (1949-2016) and Marianne "Mare" Streff.  Rho and Mare were flower girls at the double wedding on June 13, 1953, of Dad's and Betty's younger sisters, Marilyn "Beete" Electa Pape Hedger to James "Jim" Edward Hedger (1933-2010), and Rose Mary "Moe" Pape Dietz (1931-2007) to Ronald Joseph "Das" Dietz (1931-1994).  These photos were taken outside the wedding location, St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Chicago, Illinois.



Below is the Kodachrome slide the image above was cropped from.  It was found in the study of my late father, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017), who probably took the photo.  I think that may be my Aunt Betty, Elizabeth Mary Pape Streff  (1927-2017), who was a bridesmaid in the wedding, talking to the young man on the right.
