Has anyone read this article?

Wedding

A bunch of old photos were found in John Lewis, Glasgow and eventually after appeals and research etc., they were re-united with a current family member - all very nice.

However, I'm a bit confused and wonder if I've missed something here hmm. It's pointed out that Effie and her new husband aren't actually in the photo, which is OK as they could have just left to head off to the reception, but there appear to be three other brides in the front of the pic - all wearing identical hats by the way.

It seems an unsatisfactory ending to the story - who are the other brides?

I've only had one coffee so it could be that I've completely missed the point! grin

St Columba’s was always the Scottish “society” church in London.
