Quote: wedding photos that will end up under the stairs in 12 months

Some truth in that though, isn't there?


Quote: about 9 years ago

I believe that may be the average length of a marriage these days!

Mine have been gathering dust on a bookshelf for nearly twenty years, so I reckon she's about right.

I've also had a video, shot by my aunt which I threw away, having never seen it.

Maybe so but about 12 months ago I had a request from a bride whose wedding I covered over 30 years ago, for permission to have one of her wedding pics scanned in. It seemed she had gone somewhere who told her the picture had been taken by a pro and so his permission was needed in writing before they could carry out the scan. rather than do a search through my archives I gave the permission. So under the stairs or not - sometimes they do come out!!!!!

Keith,
Why does my mind see a connection between your wedding and a SOCO?


This, though, sums up what it is all about:

The hair styles, the fashions, the family members and friends no longer with us, that is what it is all about and that is why it is well worth having a decent set of photographs to remember the day by.

Quote: No connection, that was a long time before my SOCO days. The Co-Op Photography Department (yes they had one in those days) did the pictures.

Crikey you are making me feel old!

He! He!
I thought perhaps you had one of the SOCOs doing the wedding for you
Co-OP photography Dept.? Now that sounds weird!

There is a certain sadness in looking at some photo albums.... when, for example, you look at a group shot where you knew every single one of the people in the picture. But not one of them is still alive.

Contrary to public belief, my parents' wedding was actually a couple of years before I was born!

Any very old wedding album shows the relatives as "youngsters" and that's a good way to remember them. Death is as inevitable as birth but it's the bit in between that matters. If we're lucky, we get to bury our parents. The unlucky one bury their children!
