| Hermina Schwartz with twin daughters Dorothy (center) and Daisy (right, the bride, my Mom!) |
Mom's birthday would have been this week, and her wedding anniversary was at the end of November. Today I'm saying "Hi Mom" with this quick photo post of her late-1940s wedding. Above, Daisy
Burk gets ready for the ceremony with the help of her twin sister Dorothy
Schwartz and their mother, Hermina
Farkas Schwartz.
Here's Mom with her father, Theodore Schwartz, in the ballroom of the Hotel McAlpin in New York City, then a fashionable place to hold a wedding.
My father's
Mahler family gathered for a group portrait after the ceremony. Just to the right of Mom is Dad, Harold
Burk, and his mother, Henrietta Mahler
Burk (in the hat). Dad's younger brother is at far right of the second row, and his two sisters are the ladies in the center/right of the top row, at either side of the gentleman with the mustache.

She was glamorous in her gold lame dress and gold sandals!
ReplyDeleteAnd didn't grandpa look spiffy in his double-breasted suit!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing these. I think Grandma's hat is a bit of a show stealer in the top photo too! Everyone looks fantastic.
