    The groom looks none to happy either, I think he has has to "restrain" said grumpy flower girl.

    None of them are smiling.
  • Swordscookie said:
    The range of expressions etc. are intriguing. The only one who looks happy is the Bridesmaid on the left/right who has a decent smile on her face. The bride looks apprehensive yet happy. The groom looks grim in that outsized stiff celluloid collar that is probably irritating the devil out of him, the flower girl probably wants to be off playing "picky" somewhere and not in that outfit and the rest are just waiting to get at the grub. Nice one Carol, good start to your week!

    Fantastic frocks and hats - golly, 1900-14 was an elegant era.

    A beautiful and elegant wedding....the clothes are great. The whole image is so crisp and clear.

Raise a glass to the Bridesmaids.

    Probably the wedding of Oonah Perceval Maxwell of Moore Hill, Tallow and Kendal Chavasse of Castle Haven, Castletownshend, 18 Oct 1930: civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marri...

    An Poc Ar Buile Looks like a good match.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There's a description of the wedding on p3 of the Dungarvan Observer of 25th October 1930. The bridesmaids were: Countess Thelma Metaxa Miss Diana Somerville (cousin of the bridegroom) Miss Julieth(sic) Wilberforce Miss Elizabeth Baker The trainbearer was Miss Susan Dobbs, "the little daughter of Sir Henry and Lady Dobbs, Cappoquin"
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Oh, I assume the sole male presence is the Best Man, Mr, Brian Somerville, RIF Castletownshend (cousin of the bridegroom.) It also mentions that the bridesmaids and trainbearer "were wearing peach coloured chiffon frocks with short velvet coats of a slightly darker shade, and velvet hairbands of a similar tint. They carried bouquets of copper-coloured chrysanthemums."

Happy the bride - (the bridesmaids look gloomy)
