Many thanks to all who replied especially Prue M, I clicked on your link, it is so interesting and Newbie for the cost and equivalent in todays terms.
It's strange to think I have a 'photo of my gt gt grandparents wedding in 1856 and yet my own mum & dad's from 1925 didn't come out!
And yes Romilly, thank goodness it's not Jones!

Hello Again,

I'll add my thanks for all that info to Pam's thanks too, (above).

By a funny coincidence Pam, I don't have any photos of my parents marriage either, (they married in 1946). In fact, I don't have a single photo of them together, but my father died in 1957, - before photography became a "mass" hobby I suppose. But I feel very lucky to have that one of my G/Grandparents, - on what was obviously a big day for them!

All Best Wishes, Romilly.
