"Marry a man your own age; as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight." - Phyllis Diller

I think this particular wedding(s) deserve a blog post all to itself/themselves. It's just so unfortunate that nobody has invented time travel yet so I could travel back in time to the date of April 27th 1875 and be a guest at this wedding...or weddings.

There were two weddings this same day. What I don't know is whether it was a dual ceremony where both couples pledged their love and were married together, or if they were married one after the other. Both couples were married by the same priest in the same church on the same day, and both couples had the same 2 witnesses. I'm kind of leaning towards it was a dual ceremony, due to the circumstantial evidence. But, even if the weddings were one after the other, I still wish I could time travel and have been a guest.

So who got married? The oldest sister of John (Father of Generation 0) Lutovsky and first sibling in his family, Rosálie. Rozálie got married to a guy named František Sedlacek. The second person to get married was Rosalie's Father, Jan Lutovsky Sr. This was his second marriage 3 months after his first wife died, which I wrote a post about earlier. He married a woman named Marie Sedlackova. So, for all those paying attention to the "ova" at the end of Marie's last name, which I also wrote a post about, we know her surname is also Sedlacek, just like Rozalie's husband František Sedlacek.

Rosalie's husband was born in Lom also, and was living house #27. Rozalie was also still living in the house she was born and raised in, house #8. Rozalie's Father was also obviously living in house #8 since that was his house, and Rozalie's Father's bride Marie was also living in house #27. I'm sure you're thinking wait! How could Jan's and Rozalie's bride and groom be living in the same house? That is because they both had the same parents as well. So, to recap....Father and Daughter, Jan and Rozalie Lutovsky, both married a Brother and Sister, Marie and František Sedlacek. Here's a screen shot to help you visualize.

If this seems a little confusing, here, I'll help you out with a recap: Jan Lutovsky Sr. married a woman named Marie Sedlacek. Jan's Daughter Rozalie Lutovsky, married Marie's Brother František Sedlacek. So, Rozalie's new step Mother was also her Sister-in-law...and Jan's Brother-in-law František, was also his Son-in-law. See, nothing confusing about this.

After the two couples were married, Rozalie moved out of her childhood home in Lom, house #8 and into house #27 with her husband and his family, where she had at least 1 child, Matej, that I know about so far. Matej was born in house #27. Marie moved out of her childhood home, house #27, and into house #8 with her new husband and his 4 children from his first marriage. Then Marie gave birth to a girl, Barbora, in 1877 and a boy, Josef, in 1879. Both Barbora & Josef were born in house #8.

Just on a side note: This was Marie's first marriage and she was 33 years old when she got married. And in 1875, a 33 year old unmarried woman was a hard core, sun dried, old maid spinster. I'm so happy she found someone who was willing to marry her and overlook her advanced age. Jan was 49 when he got married for the second time. His first wife was 5 years older than him, so his new wife, despite her elderly age of 33, was 21 years younger than his first wife. So, spinster or not, he got a nice young fresh one comparatively.
