How beautiful lol
Makes you realize that we were always that unserious
So sweet!
I can’t even imagine how hard it was to take a picture back then
Nice. It’s nice to know that our great grandparents were human and not just old “fuddy duddies.”
This makes my heart happy.
He’s def ripping a huge fart in the bottom left pic
I wonder what the joke was. 🙂
holy shit that guy looks like my dad lol
just sent it to him
They are so cute!
That is so adorable 🥹
aww this is so cute!
I always love that in the third one you can see them trying to keep it together again and then the laughter just restarts.
Aaahhhhh teenagers never changed 
“Okay, okay, serious this time!”
these are always super serious so really glad to see
❤️
You a see them trying to hold it together in the bottom left shot. Love them.
Let me guess : they’re both 18 years old, right ? Lol…

My parents during a couple photoshoot. So many retakes.
I vastly prefer this to the straight faced photos. Makes them feel like real people and not just caricatures
This seems staged.
I’ve seen this before, and it always makes me smile. Old photos make people look so serious, it’s easy to forget they were just people, like us! What a lovely couple, you can tell how much they love each other!
