[Video] My Mom & Dad’s 1976 Wedding

Brothers and cousins after desecrating- decorating the bride's '68 Ford Mustang

Your author is so very lucky that her first cousin once removed, the inimitable late Jesse Walter (JW) West, was so ahead of his time and took a lot of video footage in the late 60s through the 70s… including my parents’ wedding!

I thought I would share this 90 second hidden gem here on my genealogy blog for posterity. If you want a real time capsule into a Ball Ground, Georgia wedding in 1976, here you go! The cars, the hairstyles, the fashion, the vandalism!

The wedding of Luanne West and Larry Dunn, 14 September 1976, Hightower Baptist Church, Ball Ground, Cherokee County, Georgia.
