I was Jim&#8217;s best man in the ceremony when he married Darla, who also happened to be one of my classmates in High School.<\/p>\n<p>I have never seen this photo despite having (obviously) been there when it was taken in July of 1970. Someone may have posed us in the tie-fixing photo but the truth is that I just don&#8217;t remember. The wedding took place nearly 53 years ago. But, there we are, all young and dapper-looking, preparing for the wedding. I was about to turn 27 and Jim was 23 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Niece Amanda also attached one more photo in her social media post of the wedding couple and their folks:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7219\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vernabob.com\/graphics\/imageview.php?image=http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19700703-jim-and-darla-wedding.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7219\" src=\"http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19700703-jim-and-darla-wedding.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7219\" srcset=\"http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19700703-jim-and-darla-wedding.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19700703-jim-and-darla-wedding-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19700703-jim-and-darla-wedding-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jim and Darla and their Parents<\/p><\/div>\n<p>These photos will be added to my collection of nostalgic items archived on the genealogy website that I use. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the past week, my niece, Amanda, shared the photo above on one of the social media platforms we frequent.
