Augusta's letter of acceptance
of Fritz' proposal of marriage is to the left. They married in
the Kuelter Kirche, above, on the 13th of March 1937; the "church
wedding" was to have been on the 6th, but Fritz fell ill
and the ceremony was delayed. In Germany, as in many European
countries, most married couples have two weddings--a "government
wedding" (such as by a justice of the peace) and a "church
wedding" officiated by clergy. The below photo, with Augusta
and Fritz standing in the center of the back row, and Augusta's
family, was taken during the "government wedding" on
the 5th of March 1937. |
