Black and white lantern slide showing a young Peruvian couple at their wedding. The bride, Blanca, wears a traditional Western style white gown with a veil and holds a bouquet of flowers. She takes the arm of Genaro, the groom, who wears a dark pinstripe suit with a flower in the button-hole. The slide is titled from a listing on its original slide box. From Peruvian Inland Mission records, the bride is Blanca Cueva, a graduate of the Lamas Bible School, and her husband is Genaro Torres, who trained in the Bible School from 1940-1942. This picture was taken at his wedding in April 1946. Later he was to become pastor in his home town, Picota. This slide comes from a collection created by the Peruvian Inland Mission, an evangelical mission started in 1930 by Miss Annie G Soper in northeast Peru, which was administered by the evangelical interdenominational mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union from 1948.
