Yes they could well have been friends too I guess ..... BUT the owner of the photo has the same surname as the bride and groom in the first photo, so really there should be a connection! By chance I was given a report written by the local paper about that wedding and it's very detailed and I've passed on the names of the five ..... yes 5 ... groomsmen to the photo owner hoping this may help.
The couple in the 2nd photo are the reason why I started my family history journey. I grew up constantly seeing a large photo of them on my Grandmother's wall and all I ever knew about them was that they were Mother and Father and their surname was McIntyre they lived at Pokeno and they came from Scotland. It wasn't until the year 2000 that my Aunt showed me a funeral card for Elizabeth McIntyre that I even had a name! That was all I needed to get me started ...... I later found that my Grandmother was born out of wedlock, so these two would have brought her up as their own! How strange that the large photo disappeared when my Grandmother passed away and each member of the family thought that one of the other members had it ? How fantastic that one connection I made sent me a copy of that very same photo! It's been a wonderful journey thanks to those two. I have enjoyed every minute of it .... even the stuff that knocked our socks off!!
