Such a lovely description of the wedding party and outfits. Wasn’t your Dad so handsome! A real Messenger. Who was the Messenger bridesmaid? I can’t quite make out the name. So lovely to see.

Did you see the other photos in Recollect?
John Fowler
Really great that after all these years information you didn’t know about pops up.

Graham Messenger
Yes Papers Past is a wealth of information. They must have added some more years because I thought it only covered the Argus into the 1920s.

Thanks. I had not seen this photo or the newspaper article. I have the original framed photo of the bride and groom taken at the same time. It was a colour touched up photo - that was I think done by Dad's brother Noel.

Kay Bruce
So were the little girls , Lorna and Nancy McGirr, sisters of the bride?

Max Vicki Messenger
Kay Bruce Lorna was sister of the bride and Nancy was a cousin
