This is a date permanently etched in our family's history.

Pauline Connery (daughter of Alice and Michael) and William F Ryan were married June 28, 1928
Elizabeth Mary Connery(daughter of Alice and Michael) and Donald Hansen were married June 28 1941 (my parents)
Alice Ryan (daughter of Pauline Connery) married George Sterling II June 28, 1951
William F Ryan II (son of Pauline Connery Ryan) and Barbara Brown were married June 28 1956
At least one more of my cousins also share this anniversary date. Who says the Irish aren't sentimental? Alice and Elizabeth wore the same dress.
Love that you have all of these photos! The dress looks different when Elizabeth wore it - had some alterations/changes been made?
ReplyDeleteYes Debi, there were some alterations made to the dress. It currently lives in my sister's living room on a dress form.
