this is just a touching & beautiful love story. so tragic too. I am so glad you wanted to tell of their story. love the papers, the crochet borders, flower borders flowers & buttons
What a wonderful choice of colors and beautiful punchwork. Such a sad wedding story - they never got a chance to be happy in their married life, it was just too short. And how horrible not to know the answers about what happened to him. I had not heard of wearing dark clothes for a year of grief - very interesting. This story really touched my heart.
Oh Suzanne, what a wonderful and heart felt story about your aunt and uncle. You truly did a great job on the vintage feel for this page. Love the mixture of flowers in your clusters. Well done.
A wedding photo of my aunt and her husband who got married in January 1944. They got married in her homtown, although they were both living in Germany at that time. She was dressed in a dark blue dress because her brother died some months ago in the war. Friends told her not to marry in dark colours, because that would cause bad luck, but she did not want to get a white dress because of her brother and she did not want to wait for 2 more months until the year of grief ( a common thing at that time) was over. Right after the wedding her husband had to go back to war and only 3 months after the wedding she got a last letter from him, in which he told her they were closed in at a forest in Rumania, but he still hoped to come home soon. That was the last thing she heard from him, right after the letter he got missed and she never found, when an where he died. I loved this aunt so much and I could see that she griefed her whole life. She never got married again and she had no kids, but she built up her own life and she was a wonderful aunt for all her nieces and nephews and a wonderful godmother for me.
