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

None of them are smiling.

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.

A marriage between Mary Godfrey and Richard Edwards on 10 Sept 1927 in the cathedral in Lismore, Co Waterford, might fit the bill: civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marri...

Rory Sherlock Yes - we have a picture of bride & groom here. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000594065 She was the daughter of a baronet, whilst he was a land agent.

Here's Mary Godfrey, aged 11, in the 1911 census in Lismore: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003493398/

I think they were married by the Bishop of Ossory, Ferns and Leighlin, Godfrey Day, who is referred to in the marriage cert as Godfrey Ossory en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfrey_Day Perhaps he was related to the bride's family, which would explain his trip to Lismore

Rory Sherlock Her father fell in for the Baronetcy shortly before the wedding: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfrey_baronets The seat of the Godfrey baronetcy was in Milltown, Co.Kerry.

Looks a bit like Enda Kenny on the right!

Looks to me like bankers on the groom's side, farmers on the bride's.

The groom's face looks highly fashionable for the time. A look that seems quite strange to us these days.

Stunning detail ..
