Did you know that Alfred Rose has many 'firsts'?
First Audio cassette, First Musical Show, First Singer on Radio Ceylon etc etc
His konkani wedding invitation card also adds to his 'firsts'

Rosario Alfred Fernandes (5 August 1932 − 21 October 2003), better known by his
stage name Alfred Rose, was a Goan tiatrist. Till date, he remains one of the most
popular singers and composers of Konkani songs (of the cantaram category), and is routinely broadcast on the Panaji or Panjim station of All India Radio (Akashvani),
the prominent state-funded broadcaster. He is believed to have sung or composed,
or both, around 5000 Konkani songs, during his career, but a proper listing of these
is itself hard to come by. Wiki
