Was not expecting to resonate as much as I did with this essay! Looking through my parents scrap books for my siblings and I has led to the same feelings of missing out on the context of the images. You’ve also inadvertently reassured me in my own less than perfect wedding photos for what our photographers caught and didn’t catch. (Although it would have been nice to get a photo with the grandparents).
I’ve been appreciating your writing and it’s led to a lot of good conversation!
