The author's family album
I keep thinking about the past times, and even as a child I really enjoyed looking at my family albums asking my mother whether she knew anything about the people in the photographs. Let's begin with the first photo, these two people are my grandparents. Unfortunately, my grandfather had died before I was born, so I didn't have the chance to meet him. They got married in 1951. The photo is slightly damaged, but we can see that the newly weds were nicely dressed. It is a custom in Serbia that a groom should wear a sprig of rosemary on his wedding jacket, whereas bride carries a bouquet of flowers.
In the second photograph, we can see the other wedding couple-my aunt and uncle, very dear people.
My father at elementary school in our village. Nowadays there are not many pupils.
Finally, my uncle with his friends. Back then, it was not important the place where you wanted to have a great time, but the company you chose.
