I had to share

sidI've spent a good portion of my day going through photographs, and this one I have to share.
My paternal grandparents on their wedding day in 1923:
Isn't Grandma beautiful? She's 21 years old, and Grandpa is 25. I tend to forget about how short Grandpa was, but Grandma was under 5 feet tall on her best day. At the age of 7 I could fit perfectly into her shoes. But then I had big feet, because I was destined to reach 5'10"!
They were together for over 70 years, and Grandpa passed away just eight years ago, a few weeks after his 103rd birthday.
On a side note, this picture was taken just 2 years after the Jack/Daniel 1921 AU I'm still not writing.
ETA: 70th Anniversary photo
They learned how to smile. :-)

Not-yay for the not-written AU!
