Below are the wedding day photos of my husband's family Diem. All three are pictures of sisters. They are great, great grand aunts to my children. Each of them had lovely, formal, Victorian era weddings.
Their mother, Louise (Orth) Kohlstock was the first postmistress of De Peres County, St. Louis. She married again after being widowed and had twin girls with a man (Joseph Diem). My children are the direct descendants of one of her twin daughters.

| Emelia Diem married Mr. Christman. Emelia carried a fan instead of a bouquet in her ceremony. Both my husband's family and my own seemed to have married into families using the last name "Christman" several times during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This studio, wedding portrait was taken at "Marks & Brown" studio in St. Louis |
