Long-lost film

We've just found the film my brother took of our wedding 50+ years ago.


I was sure it had been lost during one of our many moves but it turned up at the bottom of my wife's sewing box. And no, I don't know why it was put there!


We've now had it transferred to a DVD and watched it yesterday. No, it's not in black and white; we're not that old! But I don't think we'd ever seen it because we never had a projector or knew someone who had one.


Totally weird experience. So much we'd forgotten. All my female relatives with bouffant hairstyles and waist-less, just-above-the-knee dresses. They're going to hate me when I send them a copy!


To our surprise there was another film taken by my brother, just after our son was born, in the garden of the house where we lived in Hull. None of us can remember them visiting us but as his eldest daughter, then about three, is in the film it has to be them.


Really odd experience.

Guess it was more or less as we remembered, Nick. It's seeing my sisters in their teens, my mother and father much younger than I remember them that is fun. Real time warp after so many years.

This is a brilliant post Terry. I can only try an imagine the anticipation when you prepared to watch it. Was it as you now remember it after all those years? What had changed between your memories of the day and the reality of what the film showed?
Must have been like traveling back in time.
