EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a joyous moment in history - the cutting of the cake at a wedding reception in Kirdford, Sussex on 25th April 1945. The George Garland Collection has beautifully preserved this cherished memory, now housed at the West Sussex Record Office. The bride, adorned in an elegant wedding dress and veil, stands beside her groom as they prepare to slice into their delectable creation. Surrounded by loved ones and well-wishers, the atmosphere is one of pure happiness and celebration. A beaming bridesmaid stands close by, radiating with excitement for her dear friend's new chapter. This snapshot captures not only the essence of a traditional village hall wedding but also provides us with glimpses into life during the 1940s. The guests' attire reflects fashion trends of that era - from tea-length dresses to dainty gloves worn by ladies sipping cups of tea. As we observe this historic scene frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of love's endurance even amidst challenging times. It symbolizes hope for brighter days ahead after years marked by war and uncertainty. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving our heritage through photographs like these, future generations can appreciate the beauty found within these captured moments. This image is a testament to enduring love stories woven throughout history and reminds us all that true happiness lies within shared moments surrounded by those who matter most.
