August 27th, 1919

An excerpt from the "Gailey-Kelly Lineage."  A book published by the Gailey-Kelly family and found last year in Geri's Seattle house.

In it, Eileen Gailey describes her wedding at the beach house:

Our wedding day, the 27th of August, dawned bright and clear. Our marriage took place at my parents' home called Glen Gailey




The paths and pergolas about the houses were strung with gaily colored lanterns. In the living rooms were profusions of pink roses, asters and sweet peas.



The scene was softly lighted by tall candelabras. The ceremony was performed under an archway of pink and white blossoms and foliage.




The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, was beautiful in her wedding gown of white crepe de chine and satin.





Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Kelly. 
The house still holds your memories and we are now once again calling the house,

GLEN GAILEY
