Photo Number 575

This is a snapshot from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
 1940s wedding photo during the war DL Antiques
During the early 1940’s when we were thrust into WWII many a GI and his gal tied the knot before he went overseas.  These impromptu weddings took only a few days to plan.  It would not have been proper to have a huge fancy wedding when there was so much suffering going on in the world.  The war ended in 1944 (edited to 1945), so I would say that this wedding took place between 1940 and 1945. The bride and groom are dressed sensibly and have good clothes on and I am sure it was a special day.

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
