This artist trading card features a photo of my paternal grandparents about two weeks after they were married in the summer of 1920. I don't know what kind of wedding ceremony they had (my dad doesn't know either), but their smiles definitely say "newlyweds."
My grandparents were married almost 40 years. They probably would have been married even longer, but my grandpa died of a brain tumor when he was about 60. My grandma lived to the age of 89.
I love the dress she is wearing in this photo. I wish I knew what color it was.
