Wedding group, 1920

The marriage of Mr Benjamin Moodie and Miss Jean Vass took place on Wednesday the 28th of January, 1920 at 3 o’clock in the Menzies Rooms, Musselburgh.

This sepia photograph shows Mr Benjamin Moodie and his bride Miss Jean Vass, together with their attendants on the occasion of their wedding.

Nowadays, many couples choose to get married on a Saturday, in order to enjoy a full day of celebration and to ensure that their friends and family can enjoy the day with them. During the first three quarters of the 20th century it was more common to get married on a weekday.

I've added it to the pool, and also the other wedding photo we currently have up, of a Salvation Army wedding - also in 1920.
