History Repeats Itself
Katy & Kent were married in a wonderful little Catholic Church located in the Iowa Countryside, north of Cedar Rapids, pictured at the right. It is Sts. Peter and Paul Church, which has been sold by the Archdiocese to a private group, so it is no longer "officially" a Catholic Church. It has recently been restored to a wonderful condition.
Katy's great great great great grandfather and grandmother, Heinrich Obert and Maria Agatha Lang, were married in Sts. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church (built in 1771) in Welschensteinach in the Black Forest Region of Germany. Their marriage occured on August 23, 1830, essentially 176 years and a week earlier than Katy & Kents Wedding. What goes around comes around!
I'm getting too involved in ancient history.

That is some very touching information.
I like that you are including my big day into the big picture of your geneologic studies.
Also, I wanted to comment on how supportive and sweet you were and how happy I was to see you and Mary's sweet smile.
Wow, that is a very interesting family history lesson. You amaze me.
