Grandparents
Destination Wedding
“My mom got pregnant out of wedlock in 1969. Since it was taboo back then, she was forced to get married. Her father was in the hospital on the day she was to be wed, so the ceremony was held in his small hospital room (wedding cake is in lower right of pic). You can tell she was thrilled about it by the look on her face.”

Sweat
“This is a photo of my grandparents, aunt and uncle around 1970. Nana said it was about 100 degrees in the studio, but they weren’t about to reschedule. My favorite part is the stark contrast of my beet-red grandfather and my paper-white grandmother.”

A Man Apart
“It was my Grandparent’s 50th anniversary and all of the children and grandchildren got together. When everyone posed for a family photo, you can tell EXACTLY who didn’t want to be there.”

The Honeymooners
“My grandparents stayed at the Virgin Island Hotel on their honeymoon. My grandma didn’t understand why my grandpa was telling her to pose her hands and legs in this specific manner.”
