Happy 115th Wedding Anniversary!

On this day 115 years ago, my great grandparents George Schenk and Mary Gertrude Rumping were married in Helena, Montana.  I feel so fortunate that our family has a few items to commemorate the event.  It must have been a special day indeed!

I like to imagine that if there was a reception that day, the wedding couple would have danced to this lovely little waltz, which George once referenced in a letter to Mary ~
