Sepia Saturday - Memory

Did I ever forget my wedding day/date? No, never! Will I ever forget it? Well, you know, I don't know. I mean, your memory (and mine) can play nasty tricks on you. When you get older there may be a time when memory is replaced by mist. And the point is, when that time has come, do we realize that?  Again, I don't know but do me favor will you, remind me.
Why all this pondering about one's memory, that great hard disk up in your head? It has been caused by the man who pushes us each and every week ever so gentle to leaf through our photo albums and consult our memories. It is because of Alan, the Sepia Saturday Shoe-box man. He confessed that he always has a bit of a job remembering his wedding anniversary. So this week's theme is 'weddings'. It so happens that I have a (children's) shoe-box full of wedding pictures. Below you see a collage of a selected number of family photo's I found there. I must admit that none is as jaunty as the one selected by Alan but here we go:

And before I forget, I like to congratulate with their 39th wedding anniversary Isobel and, ahhh, so sorry, can't remember his name.
