Urgent, cheeky and heartfelt request
« on: Thursday 16 June 16 15:57 BST (UK) »
I know how helpful people are on this board, and I realise that this will probably not be allowed - Admin, if so please delete, but please dont ban me!!!!!

It is my grandparents' 68th wedding anniversary next week.  (Yes, I keep telling Nanna that she should have whacked him on the head 67 years ago and she'd have been out by now  :P).  I just (ie within the last hour) came up with an idea of putting their wedding pic on a card for all the guests at the party to sign.  The party where I am doing the speech, which I havent written yet (work is being a bit of a ****** atm) but the speech will be in the guise of a poem which I shall print on the inside of the card.

I have two pictures of their wedding - both of which have an odd line at a diagonal through them.  Is there anyone on here would would be prepared to try and clean them up for me please?  I do not feel I can publish the pictures since they and their bridesmaids are still very much  alive.

I cant afford to pay anyone (the engine on the car just went fizz bang).  YOu would earn my unerring thanks and make a couple in their 90s quite happy.  Cheeky I know.  But I had to ask.  This is probably our last anniversary since my grandad has become quite weak in the last couple of months.   :(

If anyone feels able to help, please say.  Thank you very much for anyone who even considers helping.

68 years is a long time ago normally any photograph before the 1950's is fine.

Regards

Sarah

P.S. You have to be really bad to get a ban ;)

I think there are several people who would  love to have a go at restoring your photos. As Sarah has said I don't think anybody would object to you printing  your photos on here after such a long time.
I hope you will  post your photos for us all to see. I think it is a lovely idea to have a photo for everybody to sign.

If Sarah says it's OK to post your photo then it is OK, she is the co-founder of Rootschat so there will be no problem.  I would love to see your grandparents' wedding photo and the restores by the many talented Rootschat restorers.

Go on, let us have a peep  ;D

I can't wait to see it either!  I've just had my parent's wedding photos done on here, and these people are sooo skilled and talented.

Go for it!  Yours is a lovely idea, and I'm sure your lovely cards will be cherished!
