EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a joyous moment in history - a country church wedding in Kirdford, West Sussex, 1953. The image captures the essence of nostalgia as we witness the bride and groom standing at the entrance to the church porch. Their faces are filled with anticipation and excitement for their new journey together. Surrounded by a group of children, one little girl presents them with a good luck horseshoe, symbolizing blessings for their future. The innocence and purity radiating from these youngsters add an extra touch of charm to this already heartwarming scene. In the background stands the best man, observing this tender exchange with admiration. His presence signifies not only his support for his dear friend but also represents all those who have gathered here today to celebrate love and unity. The rustic country church serves as an idyllic backdrop for this unforgettable occasion. Its weathered stone walls exude timeless beauty while embracing tradition and spirituality. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, we are transported back in time to witness a snapshot of genuine happiness amidst simpler times. It reminds us that love is universal and transcends generations.
