The Day After



I love this photo of my parents. It was taken the day after their wedding, September 24, 1949. The photo is great in that it captures precisely their apparent states of mind.

There's Doris, decked out in her finest (borrowed) dress, with matching short-veiled hat. She's twirling her new ring with a twinkle in her eye that says something like
"Guess what I did last night?"

And then there's Jack. His outfit is just as fine with those wide lapels and that fancy tie. His face and posture seem to be saying "Oh my god, what did I do last night?"
