My wedding in 1998 looked very similar to this one, I should post it! Too many brides today look too bare for church, in strapless and backless gowns. It’s supposed to be a holy day, not a sexy day. But many brides today also still get it right, and look lovely.

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Different expectations I think.

[@lydialily846]

Agree @ anglophils645 ..

What beautiful footage.. lovely bride and bridesmaids . Today’s weddings cost a fortune but pale in comparison to these lovely, simple ones. The Wedding gowns now are more than the lovely weddings from this era! Everything now is a ‘Theme’ - all focused on who can come up with something ‘Different’ ! It’s so sad that many of them don’t even last beyond a couple of years.

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Thankyou for your comments. I think it does capture the feel of the 1960's. Home movies are remarkably evocative, and the older they are the more precious they become to those involved.

@@Andrew.J.Macaulay I Totally Agree!

[@alisontopalian8592]

Even the flowers were prettier than what i see today

[@dougboyko4008]

Today they re more like staged shows

[@bobbalooie4190]

I still think those weddings were much prettier. Loved the lacy dresses and the big veils with sweet little headpieces to hold them onto your head. Weddings are not even interesting these days.

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Clearly different times, that is for sure.

[@traceylane6631]

@@Andrew.J.Macaulay I agree it's only like folk in 30 odd years time saying the same of weddings of today

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

This captures the start so many of the changes we have experienced in the last half century. Thankyou for your comments. I am so pleased you have enjoyed watching.

[@Aquaseventytree]

One beautiful bride.

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

I'm glad you enjoyed the film. Where is she now I wonder?

[@Aquaseventytree]

Let's hope someone sheds some light on it.

[@Glitter101]

[@denkent3633]

I dont know how I came across this but glad I did a real trip down memory lane as for the kids amazing the little lad typical boy and the older girl like a little mum real heart warming of days gone by

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Movies can capture the action. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip. ... More than half a century has passed since then.

[@judithemtage7673]

Absolutely beautiful poignant of days gone by. Where is St George's Church assume UK but where? The music is brilliant and just adds to the beauty of the wedding

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Hello, thanks for your interest and comments. The church is in Shirley, near Croydon, UK

[@lydialily846]

Beautiful Dress beautiful bride & groom ..

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

thankyou

[@deniseeulert2503]

I love the dresses but what I would really want is the car that brought the bride to the church

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

I doubt there are any roadworthy these days. You will just have to dream ......

[@debbieking5171]

Her dress is beautiful.

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

I'm no fashion expert but I understand from those who are that it is quite the thing.

[@traceylane6631]

Them bridesmaids dresses are pretty

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

So true.

Hi ! I am writing to you from Grand Angle Productions, a production company based in France who is presently producing a documentary on the nullity of the marriage. The film will be aired on KTO, the French Catholic channel. It will aim at informing about is the nullity of a marriage. For this documentary I’m looking for old wedding footages. These wedding pictures would allow us to illustrate the words of an ecclesiastical judge who will speak to us about the history of marriage in the Bible, the sacrament of marriage in the church, the meaning of the exchange of consents, the pillars of marriage and how a marriage can be invalid. The images we will use will not be used to say that the marriage of these people is invalid, they will only allow us to illustrate the above-mentioned statements as well as to see the different stages of a marriage such as the arrival of the bride at the church as well as the exit of the couple in front of the church. Moreover, our documentary does not speak about the end of a marriage but about the fact that a marriage can be considered null and void if the spouses did not respect the conditions of formation of the marriage. This part of the documentary will be illustrated by testimonies of people who experienced the nullity of their marriage So, I am contacting you to ask for permission to use it. If you cannot grant it, would you kindly let me know who I should contact to grant such an authorization?

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Hello. Yes that is OK. I sent you an email from [e-mail]

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

I'm glad you liked the music. Chloe, who works with me was responsible. Here is a link to more of her work: soundcloud.com/chollyhappymusic

[@aprilhatfield4919]

I love the song. Who composed it?

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Chloe wrote this. It is a lovely piece I think. She works at Cardinalbroadcast.com

Hi, Im a film student currently working on a small project and looking for wedding footage. Would it be possible to use some clips of your video? :)

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Thanks for your interest. Please do use the footage. If you would like some more background information please get in touch - info at mentalhealthtv.co.uk. It is possible to provide you with an ident free copy, depending on what you want to do with it. Look forward to hearing from you.

[@ZOZOMAGOD]

Thats great, thanks so much. The film itself is experimental so the ident is no problem as I'm using snippets of close up wedding footage very briefly. I will make sure to credit the footage and if you want I would be more than happy to send over a link once it is finished :). Thanks again!

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

good luck with your course. Depending on what you want I think some of the other examples are better technical quality, either because of the condition of the 8mm film or the exposure. Anyway enjoy. All the best.

[@Zoe-Jayne]

Hi , I was wondering if it would be okay to send over a consent form, just to show that I can use some of the video? Thanks again :)

[@lynnlynn5583]

They would be in their 80s of they were still alive.

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Thankyou for your contribution.

[@judithemtage7673]

Andrew the start is a little confusing. Is this their first baby or first grandchild? Just wondering 😊

[@Andrew.J.Macaulay]

Ah yes, I see what you mean. The first section is the consequence of an earlier wedding so to speak to be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJCcanaNjq5ojKM

Andrew, are these people your parents?
