It’s the last day of November, hard to believe I know, and only a few weeks until Christmas. I personally try not to think about Christmas until after December 15, my wedding anniversary. So as I am in a wedding frame of mind I thought I’d look at some other weddings of the past over the next few weeks.

The happy couple, 39 November 1940
