1970s Couple

January 11, 2014 – 6:13 pm

The photo of this couple is undated, but with that big bow tie and ruffled shirt this one looks to be from the 70s! Besides, the groom has a distinctly John Travolta vibe about him, doesn’t he?

Detroit Bride – 1910s or very early 1920s

January 10, 2014 – 12:30 am

This undated photo of a Detroit bride and her attendant is printed on an Artura real photo postcard (RPPC) attributed to Ziawinski Studio. Brothers Feliks and Joseph Ziawinski were portrait photographers primarily serving Detroit’s growing Polish American community in the early 1900s. Feliks Ziawinski passed away in 1923 at age 41 and the Artura imprint was discontinued by Kodak in 1924, so this photograph may date from the 1910s or very early 20s. Younger brother, Joseph, continued the family photography business and moved to another location on Michigan Avenue after his brother’s death.

The printed information on the back of the card is partially obscured by black scrapbook backing paper adhered to it. What is legible reads - Ziawinski 1652 Michigan Ave., Detroit, Michigan

Wee Kirk o’ the Heather – 1940s

January 5, 2014 – 11:50 pm

This couple was married at the Wee Kirk o’ the Heather located within Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. Built in 1929, it is a replica of 14th century church in Glencairn, Scotland. The photographs are undated but appear to be from the late 1940s. All of the captions are taken from notations written on the backs of the photos.

The first step! Our dash from the church - and the photographer just "caught" us. If you look real closely - you can see the candelabra inside at the altar.

Wishing Chair

Ronald Reagan and first wife, Jane Wyman were married at the Wee Kirk o’ the Heather in January of 1940 and were also photographed sitting in the Wishing Chair. According to a 1989 article by the L.A. Times, “”In the ’40s, if a couple wasn’t married in the Wee Kirk, they just weren’t married.” This couple apparently did it in style!

Ye Wedding Party again - at home for the reception - all mighty amused at sumpin'!

Some of the relatives and guests at the reception. Dr. MacKay - the minister is to my left. Our Swiss friend Freddie is smiling over his shoulder - third from the left is our Indian friend Charlie Roberts. Next to the minister is Lorraine Richards - who is a wonderful friend to me.
