I think people were REALLY happy to be getting married those days unlike now when all they can think of is how they will be tied up with the same person for the next whatever year. Well, most anyway.
I was going through some more old photos when I found this one. That's me down in the front in the red dress. This was taken in December 1956 during a Christmas visit to out of town family members. Back in the back, on the right, is my great-grandfather. He was born in 1873 in what used to be known as Czechoslavakia.
I love this photo, LilyLady! (You're a doll!) It looks similar to some of our family gatherings in the late 50s. Although, in our photos, there are more blondes than brunettes.

I'm really kind of glad that you quoted my post and included the photo because every time I look at this picture I smile. I loved these people.
My great-grandfather (back row on the right) came to the US in 1904 from Czechoslavakia bringing his wife and children with him. At that time he had two sons, my grandfather and my great uncle. They're both in this picture. My grandfather is the man in the back who is wearing the necktie. The young man next to him is his son (my uncle) and next to my uncle is my great-uncle who had a farm outside a nearby town. They all used to tell me that my great-grandfather and I would sit on an outdoor swing at the farm just chatting away with each other. Sounds pretty normal except for the fact that he didn't know one word of English and I didn't know Czech but you couldn't have known that by watching the two of us out there on that swing.
Two other people in this photo that were very special to me are my mother and my grandmother. My mother is seated at the far left, middle row and her mother is second from the right in that same row.
From left to right: Dad, Mom, Me, and brother at Blue ridge Mountains :
