Thanks for the brightening, japeflakes, lovely.

They do look as though they are enjoying themselves too, don't they? No poses for the camera.

OK 20s is what I thought - need to look for possible candidates now, there maybe labelled pics of the couple later in life which I can compare.

Thanks all, Josey

I've got photographs of 2 of my aunts in very similar wedding dresses and head wear.  One married in 1925 and the other in 1928.

That's helpful; thank you Lizzie.

ADDED: Could it be as late as Sep 1930? Possibly wedding of pic owner's brother Frank Williams Rackley [transcribed as Rockley] to Elsie Clements
Marriages Sep 1930   
Clements    Elsie V F    Rockley    Bristol    6a   216   
Rockley    Frank W    Clements    Bristol    6a   216   
 

ADDED AGAIN: Probably not as I found this pic of that couple later & Elsie is much shorter than Frank
