I would say 40s, maybe just post war? No military uniforms.

Thank you both. That gives me something to work with.
Apart from the groom having a look of Shane MacGowan, it's a mystery so far.

MyHeritage can date old photographs and so far I have been astonished at its accuracy.  Just upload your photo and it gives a date immediately.  No paid membership required.

My Heritage has given it a date of 1938.

add - but I noticed that they'd given a date of 1938 to my grandmother and her friend when we know it was 1942.

I went to a wedding in the fifties where people looked like this. My partners parents also had someone attend in Scotland wearing a blue frock coat in the late forties. Isn't it a bit far fetched trying to auto-date photos on clothing when these little chaps got in the way...

Many saved their coupons and relatives donated theirs. I've seen many photos of weddings in this period where the clothing was fine. At times the silk from parachutes was used for dresses.

Sorry gadget, I wasn't casting nasturtiums on your personal skills, I was talking about auto-dating photos.
