Karla Gudeon.
Two children discover their grandparents' wedding attire in the attic. This prompts Grandma to bring out her treasured photo album. The nostalgic narrative, told as a story within a story, highlights Grandma's first picnic with Poppy and his marriage proposal, among other milestones. Detailed paintings with flowery borders reinforce the tale's sentimentality. Back matter includes wedding traditions from twenty cultures.
