EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from June 1941, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of love and resilience amidst the chaos of war. The image showcases a beautiful bride and groom standing proudly outside a church in Sussex. The groom, adorned in his army uniform, symbolizes bravery and sacrifice for his country. The bride is an epitome of elegance as she dons a stunning wedding dress with delicate lace details and a flowing veil that gracefully trails behind her. Clutching a bouquet of vibrant flowers, she radiates joy and anticipation for the life they will build together. Surrounded by friends and family, the couple stands under an archway adorned with blooming flowers, creating an enchanting backdrop for their special day. A guard of honor forms on either side, paying tribute to the groom's military service. Despite the challenges imposed by wartime uncertainties, their smiles reflect pure happiness as they embark on this journey called matrimony. This photograph captures not only their love but also serves as a reminder of hope during difficult times. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this historical gem allows us to glimpse into the past; it tells stories untold through its depiction of fashion choices like girls wearing hats -a common sight during that era- adding another layer to our understanding of 1940s society. This print is more than just an image; it represents courage, unity, and everlasting love against all odds.
