child bride and groom at wedding competition

Bride and groom find  `long - lost' wedding photos

A couple received their wedding photos 27 years after their wedding.
The wedding photographer that took the photographs presented them with the pictures 27 years too late because they were too poor to pay for them immediately after their wedding. He contacted them after meeting one of their relatives by chance.

Wedding human interest story

 

Wedding anniversary tragedy

A widow whose husband tragically passsed away before they could celebrate their golden wedding anniversary organised a performance by a brass band on the day they would have celebrated it because he said before his death that he would like a band to be playing when they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.

Celebrated wedding anniversary after death

Widow Mrs. Gloria Allen, whose husband Ken died a few years ago, said that they loved brass bands and regularly organised brass band performances in their home town, for their own pleasure and for other townfolks’ pleasure.
She said of her late husband: “I loved him so much, I wish he could be here today. But I’m sure that his spirit is here, listening to the band playing.”

It's wonderful when a couple love each other so much that one will remember the other on their wedding anniversary after they have  passed away.

Best child bride and groom wedding contest

These children  won the `best child bride and groom' award in a  wedding competition (photograph on far left, click on the photo to enlarge it.)
Parents also joined in the competition, dressing up as brides and grooms and as senior bridesmaids or flower girls.  There is no wedding ceremony at the competition, but the bride and groom walk down a kind of `aisle' after they have been judged.

Pretty bizarre wedding reception venue 

The `wedding guests' throw confetti at them as if they really had just got married, and there is also a `wedding reception'.
This is a pretty bizarre thing to watch; usually there is just one bride and groom at a wedding reception but at the competition there are quite a few.

The wedding photographer, Jim Wagner, who is now retired, found the images when he was looking through some of his possessions. He recalled that the couple couldn't pay for their photos when the  wedding was held and wondered if they would like to have them now - 27 years later! The bride, Karen Cline, of Mansfield Ohio, cried and hugged him when he showed the photographs to her - and paid him the £150 that she owed him for the photographs. Until then, she had only one wedding picture, which was taken by a relative.
