Swampscott Senior Citizens' Wedding Memories On Display

Some 50 or 60 Swampscott wedding photos were on display at the Swampscott Senior Center as of last week.

The idea was to put up a few pictures of Swampscott couples' wedding pics.

Display them in the glass cabinet in the Senior Center's lobby. For a few weeks.

Then something funny happened on the way to the altar.

More couples brought in their wedding photos. Big and small. Color and black&white.

All told their numbers grew to 50 or 60. And they have remained on display.

It was a couple months as of last week.

People look at the photos and see the past and the present and the story that stretches in between.

"It's been just wonderful," said Deb Bogardus, a Friend of the Swampscott Senior Center. "People just stand there and reminisce."

The Swampscott Senior Center is located at the back of Swampscott High, at 200 Essex Street.
