AW, what a beautiful memory. And that first photograph is absolutely STUNNING. What a setting for wedding photos! I'd love to see more if they're all that cool! It's nice to have such memories to treasure. Isn't it wierd how strong they can be, even twenty years on?
Oh there were many more but they are still painful to dwell on. Memories are easier to spend time in than a photo - at least for me. I guess a photo doesn't conceal the reality. But a memory is your mind taking a journey, through a filter
Yeah, the filters. We have a heap of photos on the kitchen table right now I'm trying to sort. I feel such longing for those days, such nostalgia. But I'm also doing a massive cull so they don't take up much space - including photos I'd rather not see again, because they are of people I no longer see or care about! It's a mission.
I can imagine how painful it is to revisit those times - the joy of it, tangled up in old grief, even though time has passed and you are in a happy relationship now. That hurt still bounces around I'm sure.
