I have a photo of my grandparents' wedding in 1915 and the gents were wearing that style of round shirt collar. Also, one has a moustache in the same style as your gent

This gent was born 1887.  He married three times;
1. 1910  His age would be 23
2.  1915.  Age 28
3.  1929.  Age 42.
Assuming he's all doled up for his own wedding, which one do you think it is?

1915. Not just because of my previous post! I've zoomed in and he doesn't have any crow's feet so I'd think 28 is about right, he looks older than 23. They all looked so solemn in those days, doesn't make them look any younger does it?  :)

PS It's DOLLED UP - unless of course he had just signed on!  ;D
