This is likely a photo commemorating their marriage in Chicago, notice Marie displaying her new wedding band. Marie was the daughter of Joseph and Anna Malatinka, Slovak immigrants from Austria who had eight children in Chicago. Marie was the second oldest, born in Blue Island, Illinois, which put her in proximity to Henry Petersen, whose family lived in Blue Island.
