A Nautical Wedding

You might have to click on the image and bring it up in a bigger window to see, but the groom has pins on his lapels that look kind of like anchors.  So was he in the navy, and if so, which one, or perhaps the merchant marine.  Then again, he might have been crew on one of the big ocean liner that once moved people from Europe to North America.

This one's odd because it's so clearly from a different era than most of the other photos.  And why so many wedding photos?

Have I said how frustrating it is that this album has no captions.  Anyway, I'm going to leave this album for a month or so.  Click on Waterbury Box Co. Album in the labels section at the bottom of the post to see more.

Bride, groom, maid of honor, and best man would be my guess.   Click on Waterbury Box Co. Album in labels to see the rest.

The Waterbury Paper Box Co. Wedding Album 6

Looks like it's the whole wedding party on this one.  The bride and groom are pretty obvious, and then there are the bridesmaids and groomsmen.  The location doesn't look like a studio, so I'm guessing either the church, reception hall, or the bride's home.

It's time to leave this album for awhile.  I'll pick things up in another month or so.  Click on Waterbury Box Co. Album in labels to see the lot.

I certainly have more control with the new scanner, but I'm still not sure how well I can make it work. There was something reassuring, but also frustrating about having to take what the machine provided.

Anyway, let's forget my frustrations for a moment.  The second photo looks more like the bridesmaid, rather than the bride.  The first photo, a studio portrait, but what kind?  Did the woman just want a nice picture of herself, or was it taken as part of the whole marriage process?
