Wedding Day Throwback Thursday

How much do you love looking at old photos? From the serious and even surly expressions captured at a time when the camera was a newfangled and unfamiliar contraption, to extreme fashion trends through the decades... old family pictures, no matter whose family, never cease to amuse and delight me. I thought it would be fun to have a Throwback Thursday of vintage wedding shots. Thanks to the folks on Facebook who helped me gather up these gems!
