Love at First sight.

I found this picture in Milwaukee a couple weeks ago. Mr and I were on our 11 year Anniversary trip.
It was Love at first sight. This picture will be framed and placed on my desk as I work on this blog. That's how much I love it.
This picture is from the 50's. I'm going to say mid-50's.
The couple in this picture radiates sweetness and love. And a deep contentment.
This by far is my favorite wedding picture since starting this collection 10 years ago

And now, on with the Wedding

Here's the last two picture from the last posts Bride and Groom

Another of the Bride and Groom.

The Wedding Party.

I cut off a bridesmaid. It was a big picture.

Bride and Groom from Chicago

When the Mr. and I went to the flea market and found that treasure trove, we came across a whole set of pictures. Bride, Groom, wedding party. The whole shebang.

Made me sad, as it usually does, to see the box of memories being sold. Lucky they came to me. :)

She's a lovely Bride. 

However, I find that the head dress and the bouquet overwhelm her slender frame.

The Bride and her Groom.

What a handsome, well matched couple.

This is only two of the pictures from the set.

Treasures Found!

Oh! We came back successful! Very successful! It was a decisively hot day and towards the end of it, I was walking in a daze.  Thank the Mr for the fantastic finds.

We were walking past a table when the Mr said to hold up and lets look. Glad we did!! We found a treasure trove of wonderful photos!

Here's a preview:

A small sampling.

Some bridal party,

and some more bridal party.

A look at a few wedding guests.

And a couple wedding portraits.

Watertown, Wis 1910

Watertown, Wis.

Very young, aren't they? 

There is a certain sweetness that radiates from this picture.

Dated 1910-1912 I believe.

Reedsburg. Wisconsin.

Sparkle

So sorry, really, truly sorry. This cold/flu/ Satan Virus the  Second Boy Child gave me makes me loopy and tired.

But you don't want to hear my excuses...On with the show!

Beautiful isn't it? The detail on the dress alone makes me sigh and gives me the weepy glee's. OK,maybe a little to over dramatic on my end. :)

She's a younger bride, from a family of means. I say that because of the dress and its detail. Its not a plain white dress. It has ruffles and a satin or silk sash. The beading on the bodice is simply stunning! There, but not overly done. Enough for some sparkle.

Now he, the groom. Look at him. Distinguished. His aura radiates from this picture. A man who knows his place in the world and knows what to do to improve it.

This picture comes to us from

the Chas E. Wright Photography studio

from

Beloit, Wisconsin

I am dating this late 1910's to early 1920's

Dapper and he knows it

I am focusing on the groom today. They don't get thought of much in the wedding process, do they? Its always the Bride or the decor. But this Groom...He's Dapper and he knows it

Look at him. His stance, its like "Alright, I look good, I got this lovely woman by my side. Perfect."
