I always thought this quite beautiful photography, there's so much life in this little picture you could easily imagine being there. My grandmother is the lady wearing the dark coat standing next to the bride and one of the little flower girls is my mother's older sister, Francis and the other her cousin. But such a joyous image can resonate a lot of other emotions; it really strikes me to see family assembled like this long ago when I think of what's become of all those people. The blushing bride is my great aunt, who I know was called Lucy, but died before I was born, another great aunt, Irene, can be seen behind my grandmother showering the bride in confetti, she now suffers from dementia and of course my much loved grandmother who passed away when I was in grade four.
Omigod, your grandmother is SUCH an elegant lady!
ReplyDeleteAw, this is such a gorgeous old photograph... I love looking at old pictures of family, and trying to imagine their lives then.

Love this photo dear Miss Madeline...you are right, it's so much life about it. Your grandmother look so chic on this picture...but your whole family look so pretty and happy.
ReplyDeleteFeels like that time people had much better taste about dressing up than these days...don't you think so? Somehow they look so elegant all together.
Great post!
Much love:Evi
Dementia, dementia, the sulky shadow that makes us shiver. I feel so sorry for your aunt, dear.
ReplyDeleteThe photo composition is very beautiful. I know this is not acting that is why it is beautiful.
