This is one of the more unusual photographs found in Loyd Sandgren’s collection of wedding photos. I can only speculate that this is the new bride with her groom who is playing dress up for the amusement of the rest of the family. If that is not it, then this was not the classic Ozzie and Harriet family than I envision from the 1950’s. A great candid moment! Also, Love the pencil sharpener on the door frame.

Regardless of the story behind this photo, still a beautiful bride. Does anyone have any idea of who she was (is)?
Don, I wish I knew. For me, the best part about keeping Loyd Sandgren’s work in the public eye is when someone makes a personal connection to to a person, place or event that Loyd documented and then having them share that in the comments. Thanks for your interest. Perhaps one day someone will fill in the blanks. Bob Self/Vintage Jacksonville
Hi, Bob,
Isn’t that Minnie Pearl beside the groom? So maybe it’s some Nashville stars doing something goofy?
Let me know your thoughts.
