Rev. George Majoros officiating. The reception was held at the
Viglasky home in Monkey Run and, true to tradition, lasted for three days
and nights. Also true to tradition, the best man and an attendant
went from house to house to extend an invitation to the wedding where the
best man would recite the invitation by memory and then offer a bottle of
whiskey to the man of the house. This was only the first reception
for the couple ; a second was held in Sugar Creek, Missouri. |
