�Our Wedding Day!�

It was raining when we got up at 5:00.

We prayed hard that it would stop, it didn�t, but it wasn�t too bad.

We were all rushing around getting ready.

The kids all got dressed, then Mother, Dad and Bud.

The bridesmaids started getting dressed and finally me.�

The flowers came, then the cars.

Joe�s mother and father and Madeline came down about 9:45.

Mother left with them for church.

Dad, the girls and I left about 5 to 10.

I wasn�t a bit nervous or excited just so very happy walking up the aisle to meet my Joe.

He was standing there looking so cute and sort of scared.

Fr. Walsh married us and the Mass was beautiful.

I loved being so close to the Tabernacle.

We came out about 10:45 and went to the photographers.

Joe was the first one to call me Mrs. Bucher and the photographer the first one to call me �his� wife.

I forgot! we went to the convent, too, and the nuns seemed so thrilled to see us.

After the pictures we went for breakfast at the Melrose.� Very good.�

Fr. Walsh was there.� He is really funny.

Then home and just loafing around.� More wedding presents to open.

About 6:00 we went up to Kenny�s.� The crowd soon began arriving and by 7:30 it was mobbed.

I think everyone was there.

All the noise and excitement was finally getting to me and I began to get sick a little and very nervous.

Finally I cut the wedding cake and threw the bouquet,

Then with the help of my new father and Dotty and Anna we finally got away.

I was very excited till the train pulled out at 10:44.

We arrived in New York at 12:20 and went right to the hotel.

We had a nice room on the 15^th floor.

We finally got to bed about 1:15.

The end of our wedding day, all our waiting is over.

I�m Joe�s wife, I love him so very, very much and I�m so very, very happy.
