Harriet and George smooching, Pat Kingery, and highly-amused David Dressler	Anniversary cake prepared by Wente's. The figurine of a bride and groom has an interesting history. It first decorated the golden wedding cake for Harriet's maternal grandparents, Hans Peter and Josephine Hansen in 1938. It was then used at the wedding of Hans and Naine, our wedding, Don and Gail's wedding, and our 50th anniversary.
