Remember poring over your parents' or grandparents' wedding albums? The hairstyles might be different, the dresses certainly tell a story of their time, and the sepia tones add a layer of history, but one thing shines through just as brightly today—the unmistakable look of love. These 40 vintage wedding photographs capture those precious moments from decades past, reminding us that while fashions fade and trends change, the joy, hope, and nervous excitement of starting a life together remain eternally the same. From the hand-holding couples in the 1920s to the beaming newlyweds beside classic cars in the 1960s, these images prove that love's timeless story looks beautiful in every era.

Now THIS is how you do the cake thing, people. No smushing it all over anyone’s face. No forcefully smashing anyone’s face down into the entire cake. Just gently holding it while your new spouse takes a bite—-gently being the operative word. An indication that you will always be gentle and caring with your partner, and not purposely hurt or humiliate them. The diametric opposite of what it’s become now. That it has been allowed to morph into something vicious, and the viciousness hasn’t been stopped, is a sad commentary on the wedding racket these days.

    Is that an instruction to him about the part of her body where the sign is?

    An E-2 getting married? She is probably going to live with (his or her) parents for a while, until he gets promotion(s).

    I love seeing traditional wedding clothing from around the world. So much more interesting and beautiful than a suit and white dress.

    This dress reminds me of one of my great grandmother's wedding dresses. I am really lucky that my grandad kept and preserved it and a great great grandmother's wedding dress and passed them on to my mum. My grandad had a specific room made to display them.

    I do like the shorter wedding dresses with a lovely pair of shoes. So much more practical for a daytime wedding.
