Marriage Notes for JEROME KUPER and MARTHA MCCALLUM:

They were married at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on SE 11th Ave. Father Raphael Blummel was the priest that married them.  The matron of honor was Nelda Marquez the cousin of Martha McCallum.  Nelda Marquez later married another man named William Bryson.  Nelda's maiden name was Beeler.  Her mother Abbie Goodman and my mother Zora Goodman were sisters.  The best man was Donald Kuper who was the brother of Jerome Kuper.  The weather that day was very very hot.  We went to the coast for our honeymoon.  We stayed in Newport.  We had a 4 day week-end for our honeymoon.  We had a 1949 Mercury at that time. We had the reception at Nelda's house.  We only had family at the wedding.  I did not want a big wedding as I do not like to be in front of a large group of people.  Betty McCallum my brother Dan's wife talked me into having immediate family there at least.  Immediate family in our case was a church full of people.  Jerome comes from a family of 10 brothers and sisters and I had 5 older brothers.  Betty's sister JoAnne made the cake.  I paid $55.00 for my wedding dress.  It was size 11.
