EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1945, we are transported back in time to witness a beautiful bridal party walking from Kirdford Church. The image captures the essence of a country wedding, with its rustic charm and idyllic surroundings. The groom and his Best Man stand tall in their army uniforms, a poignant reminder of the times they lived in. The bride steals the show as she gracefully glides forward, adorned in an exquisite wedding dress that exudes elegance. Her bouquet of flowers adds a touch of color against her pristine white gown, while her veil gently floats behind her like a delicate cloud. Accompanying the couple is a bridesmaid who complements their radiance with her own gracefulness. Together, they create an enchanting tableau against the backdrop of rural West Sussex. As our eyes wander beyond the bridal party, we notice an old graveyard nearby - perhaps serving as a reminder that even amidst joyous occasions like weddings, life's cycle continues unabated. This remarkable photograph belongs to the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office and serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. It transports us back to an era defined by love and resilience during challenging times.
