32 yem old satin we(t(00ling dress is serving Cun,:fiff family well
Merilyn [CundifJ]Duncan-August. 1977
A white slipper satin dress made 32 years ago
in Australia, will be the wedding attire for the
mariage of Merilyn Cundiff, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson Cundiff. The wedding vows are
being solemnized tonight (Wednesday) at the
First Baptist Church in Perkins.
As Merilyn becomes the bride of Mr. Chester
Duncan this evening, she will be the second
Cundiff daughter to have worn the dress, and the
fourth to have been married in the satin gown.
The dress was made for the marriage of Mr.
and Mrs. Nelson Cundiff on January 31, 1945, at
Melbourne, Australia. Nelson was stationed in
the United States Army and took an Australian
girl Meryl Pc•hies, as his bride. An aunt, Mrs. V,
Currie, designed and made the wedding gown.
After the wedding Nelson returned to the United
States, and Mrs. Cundiff followed in 1946.
The dress was put away, and on February 21,
1961, a niece, Susie Cundiff, asked to wear the
dress to exchange wedding vows with Billy Mote,
and became the second to be married in the
wedding gown.
On October 21, 1965, the Cundiff's first
daughter, Judy, wore the dress in the ceremony
that united her in marriage with Frank Spillars.
Tonight marks the fourth occasion.
Mrs. Cundiff reports that other than tucking
and resewing slightly here and there, the dress
has served all four brides without any major
alterations.
The dress--well, it is going back into storage
perhaps for the weddings of future generations.
