Jonathan-Paul de Wierwille married in Vierville-sur-Mer in 1972

Jonathan-Paul de Wierwille and Angela Ladas, his American compatriot, got married at the town hall of Vierville-sur-Mer. The article presents the husband as a descendant of the sieurs de la Fleurière and Crespigny, to whom he attributes services rendered to the Dukes of Normandy and a participation in the first crusade of 1096. He recalls the presence, in Vierville, of the manor farm where Claude de Crespigny would have lived until the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. These genealogical links are those advanced by the newspaper.

The mayor, Mr. de Bellaigue de Bughas, celebrated the wedding in a room decorated in French and American colors, in the presence of many residents. The witnesses represented both countries: Mr. Neel, deputy to Mr. Deker, superintendent of the American military cemetery of Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, and Pierre Le Gallois, deputy mayor of Vierville.

Miss Le Bastard translated the texts of the ceremony; the spouses expressed their consent in French. In his congratulations, the mayor mentioned the ancient friendship between the American branch of this family and Vierville, as well as the sacrifices of American youth during the liberation fighting of June 1944.

A champagne of honor was then offered at Mr. Le Gallois, with toasts to the happiness of the bride and groom and Franco-American friendship. The spouses were soon to return to Switzerland for a religious ceremony celebrated by a Protestant pastor. The cut adds that Jonathan-Paul is the son of a pastor and claims a relationship with astronaut Neil Armstrong, without providing any evidence to establish it.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The file bears "1972April4", while a handwritten mention at the top seems to read "O.F. 1.4.72". The exact day of publication is therefore not retained.
- The quality of last descendant and the relationship with Neil Armstrong are affirmed by the journal without an attached genealogical demonstration.
