Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[659]
[WAYITWAS-2006-659]

Delaplane, Kristin
[339]

My last column explored how the Christopher and Towson families celebrated their respective weddings amid close friends and relatives at the bride's home. Most weddings of that day were conducted in this quiet fashion. The wedding of Frank H. Buck and Annie Elizabeth Stevenson on April 29, 1886, on the other hand, was a large, elaborate affair.
