For my wedding my mom created a signature book for us putting in old photos of Jeff & I as children. Anyway, I had to ask Jeff's grandmother for photos of him. When looking through photos she showed me photos from her own wedding. There were only 10 left...the rest were destroyed in a fire. I got an idea one Christmas for grandma. Grandpa had passed away earlier that year and I thought grandma would love it. My brother-in-law grabbed those old wedding photos for me and I had a friend I worked with scan them & print them for me. He also put the photos on a floppy disk (remember those?). I called grandma one day and asked her lots of questions about her wedding and then set out to create a wedding album for her. I created 2 albums, one for her and one for me.
Well, she passed away less than 2yrs ago and that wedding album & her wedding pictures disappeared... Anyway, my father-in-law has none of the photos. For this father's day, I found that floppy disk and created an album through Shutterfly for him.
I gave him the album yesterday and he LOVED it.

Is that your husband's grandfather in the pictures? I think there is a definite resemblance between him and your husband in your wedding picture on the side.
Such beautiful pictures, I'll bet your FIL will treasure them.
