I frequently drive through Pennsylvania on my way to visit my daughter and her family in Virginia. I like knowing that my family was in the area many years ago.

Wedding: Brumfield & McSpadden, 1957 GA

The descriptions of this wedding are lovely. We are fortunate to have a photograph of the bride in her wedding gown. It sounds like it was a special day to be long remembered.

On a genealogical note it is interesting that the groom, Robert Hugh Brumfield, has almost the same name as his brother, Robert White Brumfield. I have not see that before, two brothers with the same first name.

My Nana was one of the most important people in my life.  I knew her as my mother's mother.  She loved my brothers and me immensly. Looking at vintage photographs like this one I get a glimpse at her life before my mother or I were born. I love her lacy dress and those huge bows in her hair. 

I am posting this for her birthday.
