This print captures a unique moment in history, as tailors come to the rescue of a newlywed couple on their special day. In the quaint village of Loose, Kent, Lieutenant Commander John Harry Boughton tied the knot with his beloved Miss Esmee Katalin Lowther at the Parish church. However, it seems that fate had other plans for their wedding transportation. As tradition dictates, the bride and groom were meant to depart from the ceremony in style. But when their bridal car encountered an unexpected mechanical issue, it was up to a group of resourceful tailors to save the day. With determination and strength, these skilled craftsmen took matters into their own hands and towed the stranded vehicle away from the church. The photograph beautifully captures this extraordinary sight - a testament to both human ingenuity and community spirit during challenging times. Against a backdrop of monochrome elegance, we witness Lieutenant Commander Boughton and his radiant bride leaving through an impressive naval guard of honor. Dating back to July 30th, 1936 - an era caught between two world wars - this image serves as a poignant reminder of resilience amidst adversity. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk's extensive collection of European photography from that period, this remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating love triumphing over unforeseen obstacles.
