This is my parent's wedding photo. Years ago, my sister was into scrapbooking and cutting everything out. Glue or something pulled part of the photo off (my dad's sideburn and part of his ear) and she colored it in with a marker Trouble was, this was the only copy we had. I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to repair it. Yes, my dad had big ears! I tried to recreate a little more on both sides, especially on my mom's side to give it a better crop.

By the way- you survivors of the Forty's know guys used to wear their hair this big!

Sidenote: they were married during the Reconstruction period in Nurnberg. My mother's wedding gown was made out of a silk US parachute since fine fabrics were not available. They could barely find simple cottons.

Two posts in one day! Wow!
