Ruth Meredith and John Kellogg Marry

Ruth and John married in the Meredith's flat at 5458 W. Iowa St. in the Austin neighborhood on the far west side of Chicago.  I don't know how they managed it - must have moved much of their furniture into the 3 bedrooms in order to have room for 24 guests, who also had dinner there.

Saturday, June 1, 1929 - My Wedding Day!!!
"Up early.  Lady upstairs washed and set my hair.  Gifts arriving all day.  Pressed my wedding veil -- some job
   Had 24 at ceremony & dinner.  I was excited when I was repeating after Dr. Gardiner, but John seemed very natural.  Mr. Brenken drove us to the photographer's & back.  Tin cans on our car.  During dinner they tried to get us flustered.  I cut wedding cake.  Florence caught my bouquet from front porch.  Sausen stole me after that.  Finally at Hotel Morrison.  Forgot dresses.  Folks brought them down."

From there Ruth and John went to Detroit for their wedding trip, an area John was familiar with, having lived there as a teen.  After a week, they went on to Ann Arbor where John's mother and step-father lived.  Most of this is in Pieces of a Life.
