Mr and Mrs Albert Odell


From a box of slides marked as "Dene's wedding December 29th 1941", this appears to be two of the guests Mr+Mrs Albert Odell.

What's fascinating is that 22 days before the wedding, Pearl Harbour was attacked by Japanese planes, and the United States declared war on Japan.    How did that affect the wedding?   Was this a hastily-organised wedding before the groom headed off to war?  I dunno, but it's an interesting thought.
