Aunt Mary's Memoirs, Chapter 2: XV

Wednesday, November 25, 1925, was our wedding day. The day before Thanksgiving we were married at Holy Family Church and a reception for relatives and close friends was held at home. We then went off for a four-day honeymoon. Expecting some trick by my brothers, we were hurrying out when I slipped on a wet icy spot as there had been a light snow that morning. I fell and got a hole in my stocking and so it was we left for New York City to start off our life together. After returning, we lived with Ed's mother, father, and two younger sisters, Elizabeth and Marion, until we bought a home of our own in Germantown the following year.
