  National Library of Ireland on The Commons I don't think 'This is my lovely day' had been written yet in 1943. Wiki says 1947 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bless_the_Bride

  beachcomber australia Ah here, you're ruining Morning Mary's rosemantic vibe!

• John Spooner said:

  If (and it's a big if) the Nicholas O'Neill who commissioned the photo is the gent pictured, then the lady might well be Catherine, and they went on to have 1 son ans >1 dauhters.

  Beautifully staged. It must have taken quite a while (probably days) to make this photograph happen.

  beachcomber australia What Carpet?

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  seikinsou I would have thought that Poole would not have given more than 1 hour to get the whole process completed?

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Niall McAuley I bet that's him. Married Mary Brigid Power on 11 June 1935. Was this photo a sort of anniversary celebration? Almost 12 years to the day?

  Here is a Nicholas with brother William in the 1911 census, Leperstown:
