Wedding Day

1950s

This photo is taken of my second cousin and his wife on their wedding day. My great uncle and my great aunty are at the back. My great aunty is standing in for the bridegrooms mother as she had died previously. Unfortunately the bride was to die tragically at a young age and her husband left to raise three children alone.
