Description

The stage of the St. Luke's School auditorium was reserved for the "bridal party" at the wedding reception for Walter and Judy Duda on June 14, 1959. Some of the Slavia wedding customs came as a surprise to the bride, who had come from Chicago to teach in the school. She discovered that the couple was expected to open every gift (only a small portion of the many gifts can be seen in this photo), announce the name of the donor and describe each gift into a microphone during the course of the reception. (Note that school auditorium was NOT air conditioned and that the wedding ceremony had taken place at 7pm.)
