Wedding photo of Friedrich and Katherina Stecklmacher

Wedding photo of Friedrich and Katherina Stecklmacher

This photo was taken in 1928, and is from the wedding of my parents, Friedrich Stecklmacher and Katharina Stecklmacherova, née Steinerova.

My parents were married on 25th March 1928 in our hometown, Prostejov. My mother at the age of 20, while my father was already almost 30. In their wedding photo, which by chance survived, my mother is wearing a white lace veil. As a dowry she got table and bed linen - embroidered damask and batiste, often with a monogram. Also dishes, silver-plated cutlery and modern stainless-steel cutlery.
