My parents actually got married twice, on 14 February 1957 in front of Swiss government wedding officials, and then again two days later on 16 February 1957 in the Catholic Church, in France if I recall correctly. I came along then 15 1/2 months later, the first of nine children, three of whom died before birth. I was fortunate to see many photographs of my parents' wedding when I was a youth, but I do not believe I have any of those photographs in my possession at this point. Hopefully at least some of those photos have survived and one or more of my siblings have them. My memories of the photographs of the event show a very happy and excited Dad and Mom going through the ceremony and then celebrating enthusiastically at their wedding reception with many friends and colleagues of theirs at the time. It must have something special for my Dad and Mom to be able to get married on one of the most important days of any year for those in love, Valentines Day.*****

I hold several wedding photos of our parents, they have been put in a scrapbook..you're right, they do look young & happy in those pictures. There was a caption on the back of one that said they got married at a "Lindsey Air Station",in Germany, which now of course is closed...I looked it up on Wikepedia...
