Thanks, Alan. For some reason the processing on this roll of film was excellent and the colors really came through.

I agree about all the fun patterns in the photo! It's incredible to imagine this couple getting married in 1923.

Thanks. We were just married three years at the time and were awed at 50 years. I'm still a bit awed but your comment caused me to realize that my wife's grandmother was the same age as I am now when this photo was taken. YIKES!

I've done the same thing though, looked at vintage pictures of my Mom and realize she was younger than I am now. At the time the photo was taken, I remember thinking she was really old.
