The wedding

Here's more from the family album as promised...
My grandparents got married in 1956.

My granddad colored this photo himself;)
I have it in my bedroom in a frame I found a long time ago, it looks like it was made for it:)

Like all of her clothes Ketty had the wedding dress made especially for her. I love the collar and her half hat veil. Unfortunately she didn't keep any of it, she's not even sure what happened to it...

Her bouquet had red Roses, Lily of the valley, Myrtle and lace ribbons and she also had Myrtle on her veil. It must have been in fashion because my other grandmother had excatly the same, only she also had Baby's Breath in her bouquet.

Here they are returning from the church and photographer. I believe they had the wedding party at Ketty's parent's house...

Another of my granddads creations...

Next to my grandfather is his father who I never got to meet, I'm not sure where his mother is seated -they were divorced.

Opening the presents...

Wedding guests. The lady in the front with the gingham apron is Ketty's Mom -my great grandmother Helga (I actually had two great grandmothers called Helga -both were hairdressers..) she always had perfect pin curls. The guy on the left in uniform is Børge's brother Vern who's been living in Florida for years.

Going home.. Pretty coats and dresses in the background. They couldn't afford a honey moon so they just went back home to their appartment...

Next time, their children...
