Title: About a girl
This is a photo taken on my sister Alice's wedding day.
One of the tradition was that we all three wore than same wedding dress. The first was my sister heather standing next to Alice, Alice then me. The dress was also worn by a niece, a sister to Johnny who was heathers husband. Each of us girl gave a present to the bridesmaids. Alice gave us the gold necklace we were wearing and I gave them a multi-colour umbrella at my wedding. We all wore something old that belong too our nanna Gillespie, something new was a lucky horseshoe or wedding bells that you carried with your bouquet, something blue was a garter with a blue ribbon.
I have hand written the journal as you can see within the frame of the picture.
