Here is the second of our posts about our old family wedding photographs.

Here is a little bit about Emma’s Nan and Grandad.

John and Rebecca first met when John worked at the local greengrocers as a delivery boy. Becky got to know him through his deliveries to the street where she lived and it was known that she remembered him for his bike! Soon after they started courting they were engaged to be married.

They got married on the 11th April 1936 at St.Cleopas Church in Dingle, Liverpool. It was a very beautiful Spring day and Becky wore a  straight white silk dress, long lace veil and tiny white silk shoes. Her bouquet was filled with roses.

Both John and Becky walked through the churchyard to claps and confetti from their guests and from there they went to the  Co-Op hall on Beresford Road, Dingle where the reception was  held.

With the new year in full swing and before the wedding season is in full flow we’ve had the chance to take a look back on some old family wedding photos. After some serious restoration these are the first of two posts where we will share some old wedding pics. These are Lisa’s grandparents William and Rose who met when Ron was a serviceman in the RAF and used to write to Rose until he was stationed at RAF Burtonwood when they finally met and fell in love. They were married in the 1940′s at St.Nicholas church in St.Helens and used  locally based professional photographer Fred Langford who had a studio in Duke st, there probably wasn’t as much competition then!  There wasn’t much money around in those days but Ron was very smart in his uniform and Rose looked beautiful in her elegant dress and pretty headpiece. We love these photos, maybe Ron could have done with a bit of direction with where to put his arms but apart from that they are lovely! We aren’t professional photo restorers but we’ve done our best…
