We've had threads here of pix showing the "old days".

This site is where you can post pix of your parents when they were young.

(Borek, you should tell Junior about this site...the wedding pic of you and Marzena would be a great addition :smile:!)

Junior doesn't like online communities. Or at least he pretends to.

That's how I used to be until my family showed me to this site. Guess you just got to find your "peeps".
 
That's cool. I don't have pics of my parents together when they were younger. My mom still has those. I do have a copy of a picture from my grandparents' wedding, and they were absolutely adorable (though, my grandmother looked very nervous in the picture). My grandmother's wedding dress was a flapper style dress...so cool!
