This morning, when I heard today’s date, I realized it was on this day, eighty years ago, that my parents married. (Well I had a bit of help as my friend counted the decades by tens.)Although they passed away in 2000 and 2002 I was thinking about their wedding day all those years ago.
Durand Illinois. August 28, 1939. Not sure who took this home movie but here are a few shots from the screen. Roy Joseph Hendricks and Marian Van Sickle and family members in photos below.

Such a happy day! They were so young and full of joy and promise. How lovely it is to have these precious photos.
I felt so lucky to have known your dad! I love those old photos of their wedding! Didn’t realize how much you look like your mom.
What a wonderful way to remember thankfully your parents, Ruth! I like the photos.
Wow – those are amazing! They looked so happy. I definitely see a family resemblance.
I enjoy all the smiles and love in these photos. Such a great remembrance.
What an absolute visual treasure of love.
Great photos! What lovely memories.
A home movie from 1939 is a very special find! I love how animated they are in it – gives a much better sense of them as vibrant young people.
It is a treasure for sure. Have shown all the grandchildren.
