I don't think the following photograph is a wedding photograph, but it was probably taken within a few years of their marriage. Although their expressions look serious, I know that they were happily married.

Other weddings that I have blogged about in my seven years of blogging include:

My paternal grandparents (Pyle-Adsit) at High Society 1919.

My maternal grandparents (Copeland-Hunter) at A Small 1931 Family Wedding.

Paternal great-grandparents at Wedding Wednesday in 1884 (Pyle-McAlpin) and Bowmie Ashby's 1890 Wedding (Adsit-Ashby).

Maternal great-grandparents at Wedding Wednesday 1/1/1900 (Copeland-Greeley).

I have also shared wedding information on my second great-grandparents Samuel Greeley and Eliza Wells 1866 and George Lysle Jr. and Marion Helen Alston.
