Here is cousin Mollie walking on the arm of her new husband Leslie McDonald after their wedding in Allesley, Coventry, on 17th January, 1953.
Mollie looks very happy and Leslie as though he's just won first prize, which I think he did as Mollie is a lovely lady. Mollie's dress is beautiful and Leslie looks so smart in his morning suit.
This is an absolutely delightful photo, Mimsie. There is a timeless joy in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Geo. and yes you are so right. Joy shines right out at us.
DeleteI agree, Leslie does look like he's just won first prize! And Mollie look so happy. Her dress and flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt all seems so perfect and it was as they are still happily together.
DeleteThey both look like they won the lottery.
ReplyDeleteI don't think either has regretted it as so many years later they are still happy.
DeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Mimsie, who can say why, but this made me well up... so beautiful and filled with the colour of emotion, this captured moment sealed forever in monochrome. YAM xx
It sealed a happy union that has stood the test of time. xxx
