A photograph of a photograph of my mum and dad on the occasion of their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 1991 .
They were married in 1941 when my dad was on army leave . After a short honeymoon , my dad had to return to the army , and they wouldn't see each other again until after the war .
On the morning of their anniversary they went with a few family members to the church where they were married . Mass was celebrated as they knelt on the very spot where they had made their marriage vows exactly 50 years previously . They said that this Mass was the highlight of their day .
My dad is in Rome this week for the cancer conference at the Vatican (he's an oncologist), and has taken a few photos that I thought some of you might enjoy.
