The bride was Barbara Winn, the 23-year-old daughter of a “well-to-do contractor,” as LIFE put it. The groom was Thomas Ferrell Bailey, 23, a former Air Force cadet and student at the University of Kansas. The couple met at a New Year’s Eve party back in 1945 and started on the road to their wedding to remember. The total number of guests at their wedding: 750.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed this
Did the groom need to have a blood screening as well?
The kitchen shower seems so fun!
Also because I was curious based on the Consumer Price Index $100 and $200 are worth approximately $1450 and $2900 in today’s dollars. Expensive!!
