Vinyl record from 1966 wedding found at thrift store, returned to couple

A vinyl record recording from a couple's 1966 wedding was returned to the family after accidentally ending up at a Texas thrift store.

Katie Ornelas bought a record from a thrift store in Austin, but when she opened the slipcover for The Modern Jazz Quartet at Music Inn, she instead found a recording of vows, prayers and cheers from a wedding.

The record was labeled "Phil's and Donna's Wedding."

"We put it on, and we were just instantly, just connected with that record and wanted to make sure it found its way back to its family, because it was in a different sleeve," Ornelas told KXAN-TV. "So we anticipated that it's probably missing its owners."

Ornelas shared her story with the media in the hopes of reaching the record's owners, and the story ended up being spotted online by the daughter of Phil and Donna Schmidt.

Donna Schmidt explained the couple had married in Los Altos Hills, Calif., in 1966 before moving to Austin, where Schmidt taught at the University of Texas at Austin for more than 40 years before his retirement in 2013.

She said they held an estate sale when they relocated from their Austin house to a Denver retirement community in March 2022, and the record must have been sold as a result of being misplaced in the wrong sleeve.

"We had an estate sale that cleared out everything from our home that wouldn't fit in our new apartment," Schmidt said. "We had a large record collection and somehow our wedding vinyl made its way into a jazz cover. Makes me wonder what other treasure we left behind?"

She said the record's return will make an upcoming milestone all the more special.

"We celebrated our 58th anniversary last August," Schmidt said. "What a gift for us to have this recording back in time for our 59th next year!"

Officials said the truck is believed to have been hauling the empty cans to a recycling center when it overturned.

No one was injured in the incident, and an investigation into what caused the truck to lose control is underway.
