Weddings is the theme for Gothic Arches this week. In the spring of 1957 one month before the wedding day, the bride-to-be underwent parotid gland surgery, which left the right side of her face paralyzed (temporarily). With Navy duty starting a continent away one week after the wedding, the couple went on with the plans. The bride couldn't smile on the outside but she was smiling big-time on the inside.
The beautiful arch is from a photo that Patty took and offered as a freebie on her blog. One of these days the rest of that wonderful photo will be used in some art work. Thanks, Patty.
The story behind the photo really is touching. And your arch is splendidly done! Bravo....
