On November 1, 1936, Miss Louise Vigiletti and August
Corso were united in marriage at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Huron, Ohio.
Father Urban Burkhart officiated. An article in the November 8, 1936 issue of
the Sandusky Register reported on the
occasion. The article described the bridal gown of Louise: The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a white satin
gown, princess style, with a long train and a crown-effect veil. Her bouquet
was an arrangement of white chrysanthemums.
The newspaper article provided the members of
the bridal party. Miss Margaret Corso,
sister of the bridegroom, was the maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Ruth Pole and
Ellen Girardi. Anthony Mussel served as best man, and Harry Vigiletti and
Joseph Lolla were the ushers. A wedding breakfast was held at the home of the
groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Corso, of Sandusky, Ohio. Following the
wedding a dinner was served at the Hotel Rieger with forty guests attending. A
wedding reception was held at the Eagles Hall in the evening. The new Mr. and
Mrs. August Corso went on a brief wedding trip, and then returned to their home on
Shelby Street in Sandusky. August J. Corso was a longtime employee of New
Departure-Hyatt. He died at the age of 81 in 1995. Mrs. Louise Corso passed
away in 2010 at the age of 95. Both Mr. and Mrs. August J. Corso were buried at
