Wedding Wednesday: Grandpa, Nana, and a Priest, June 1953

My grandparents, Paul Robert Pape Sr. (1896-1970) and Elizabeth Florence Massmann Pape (1902-2000), at the double wedding on June 13, 1953, of their youngest daughters, 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).  This photo was taken outside the wedding location, St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Chicago, Illinois.

This image is from a Kodachrome slide I found in the study of my late father, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017), and was most likely taken by him.  I wish he was here so I could ask him who the priest is in the picture.  I can't tell if he is the same as the priest pictured below, longtime family friend Father Felix J. Penna.  The photo below appeared in a 1952 yearbook.  This priest does not look the same as one in another picture with my Aunt Betty taken at a family wedding a year later.
