Here Comes the Bride at Heart 2 Heart

This week's challenge at Heart 2 Heart is all about weddings. Since I've been updating my wedding pictures I decided to share with you the one I was working on this week. What timing.

 Forty-three years ago I married my High School sweetheart. Yes, I was a June bride and He was a Navy sailor returning from Vietnam.  This two page layout was with our Grandparents and Parents.

 Now, keep in mind in the 1960's there was no digital photography. No touch ups, not much cropping, and very little color control. Color photos weren't always the best and the photo paper was not the best either. After years of being in the wrong book and color fading I found my wedding photos to be in pretty bad shape. My Mother's wedding photos from the 1940's are in better shape than mine.

So, I'm glad I rediscovered them while being with CTMH so I could put them in a safe and beautiful place for the future.  Cropping 43 year old pictures is quite a challenge as well as creating pages to accommodate all  twenty 8 X 10 photos. This two page layout is created using "Magic Act" from Magic. The tag inside the bottom corner holds the full names of our parents and grandparents.

Now it's your turn to take the Heart 2 Heart Wedding challenge. Be sure to check out the design team creations for some inspiration and check back all week to see the creations of those who have taken the Wedding challenge.
