Looking at this photo of these two young Westfield, WI women you may think you are seeing double. They appear to be sisters, possibly twins and are wearing identical dresses, veils and even hairstyles for their double wedding. They are also wearing white gloves with their gowns and I believe I can see their rings through the gloves. I find it interesting that only the bride on the right is wearing a locket around her neck. I wonder if she is possibly the older of the two and this was an heirloom that was passed down to her? Their grooms even look like and could possibly be related and are wearing identical suits as well. Due to the style of dress and the type of cabinet card I believe this to have been taken between 1900 - 1910. There is no identification on the back of the card. I wish I knew who they were and what their story was.
The photographer was Fenner & Son of Westfield, Wis. This was John Fenner and his son Jacob who were active in the area between 1895 - 1925. John Fenner was born in Germany in 1834 to Jacob Fenner and Anna Martha Grebruse and he died on 3 Jul 1923.
