EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage photograph from September 1944, we witness a comical incident that unfolded on the joyous wedding day of Sylvia Helliken and Sgt. Edward Beswich in Leech-leigh on sea. As the newlyweds and their bridal party were leaving Canvey Church in Essex, an unexpected guest made its presence known - Dice, the mischievous dog belonging to their next-door neighbors. With sheer excitement or perhaps a hint of mischief in his eyes, Dice couldn't resist leaping towards Sylvia's delicate veil, threatening to snatch it away from her head. Caught off guard by this impromptu canine interruption, laughter erupted among the wedding attendees as they watched Bridegroom Sgt. Edward Beswich and Bestman C. P. O Thomas Kelly quickly spring into action. Determined not to let anything dampen their special day, both men can be seen gently prying open Dice's mouth with utmost care and skillfully retrieving the veil from his grasp. Their swift actions saved Sylvia's cherished accessory from being devoured by her furry neighbor. This heartwarming snapshot captures not only a momentary hiccup but also showcases the resilience and lightheartedness that prevailed during wartime weddings. Despite living through World War Two's challenges on the home front, these young lovebirds found solace in each other's arms amidst laughter and camaraderie. Decades later, this print serves as a delightful reminder of how even unexpected surprises can become treasured memories within our personal histories
