Sepia Saturday 140; Weddings;

My mother and my father; wedding 1933

My mother was 23 and my father 30 years old.  My mother wore a black dress and a white embroidered veil.  I remember the veil and also the headband with the flowers.

They were tucked away in box tied with a pretty ribbon. I also remember,  the art deco brooch she was wearing with quite a long pearl necklace.

My mother's sister Helen and Thomas married in 1936

This is a true sepia photo. Helen does not wear a veil. She is wearing a silk dress, but also not white. the dress is embellished with lace at the front.

Anna and Simon were married  1939;

Simon was my mother's younger brother.

Simon was conscripted into the German army and died in Russia in 1944. He was a driver in the war.

Anna wears a white wedding dress and also a veil. All the brides carry white roses. 

Anna never married again and had no children.
