I thought I'd just share some photos of family weddings this week. It seems that no one had an especially eventful or unusual wedding day.. I've been fortunate to have in my possession or have come across photos of a lot of relative's weddings or photos of couples taken about the time they were married. It's interesting how some brides had traditional wedding dresses and some wore street clothes. Here are a few who joined together.
Caroline & Lois's parents, Charlotte and J. Ellsworth, were married in 1905. This was said to be their wedding photo.
While we do not have a wedding photo of J. Ellsworth's parents, we do have an image of their very colorful marriage certificate from 1885.
John and Carole were married in a typical 1954 ceremony, but had to change their reception location at the last minute due to a problem at the original venue.
Carole's Aunt Mary, who was born in Italy, was married to Giovanni in 1917 in Pennsylvania. Tragically, both Mary and her baby died from complications of childbirth a year later.
Another of Carole's aunts, Angeline, was married in 1938 with Carole as a flower girl.
John's parents, Elizabeth and Floyd, were married in 1928 at 7 AM on a Monday in the church rectory. They had a long trip ahead of them to Watkins Glen & Niagara Falls for their honeymoon.
John's great grandparents, Merritt & Julia were married in 1852. This is said to be their wedding day.

You have some lovely photos here. All very different. It was a good theme this week wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a good theme, but I struggled with it a bit in deciding how to approach it. Simplicity won. Sometimes that is the best solution.
