Wedding suit used by Lambertus 'Bertus' Huizenga when he married Lammechiena 'Lammie' Zuidenga on 25 June 1929 in Groningen, Holland. For the rest of his life Bertus would continue to wear the suit of important church functions in Holland and in Australia. The bow tie was purchased later to replace the original tie worn at the wedding. In June 1955 the family moved to Western Australia and settled on Forrest Road in Forresdale where Bertus worked as a painter. He would often ride to jobs as far away as Fremantle on his bike before eventually purchasing a car. Bertus was also an accomplished organ player. The family, in 1961, moved to 24 Fourth Road in Armadale where they lived until the 1980s. Bertus passed away in 1980 age 77, Lammie passed away in 1984 age 80.
