I'm not into this ebay malarkey, do people actually put photo's on for sale of persons and they don't know who they are and what seems more weird, someone will buy them.

Looks like a shotgun wedding to me-there's definitely a "bump" isn't there!! I think the guy was being forced to smile because there's a sniper rifle trained on him from 200 yards away!! What I really want to know, though, is who's the guy with the long face over the bride's left shoulder? He looks like he's been hit in the mush by a skateboard!!lol.

I am also a little concerned about the billowing at the back of the man's trousers. Has she sh*t himself-or is it just a humungus fart? I think it's got to be a fart-cos you smile when you've farted, don't you!!

Maybe it's just that he bought his suit from Hyman Jacobs, though.
Just after this photo was taken, a gust of wind caught the groom's lapels-and they both sailed off into the sunset-him keeping his firm grip on her arm. They landed in Barbados three days later-which really pissed them off cos they were supposed to be honeymooning in Frinton-on-Sea and only had £2 10s and 6d between them.

Yes Bert it sounds strange but there are loads on E-Bay
Family Photo Albums for sale on E-Bay & Single Photo's on E-BAy

These searches are UK based if you include the USA there's loads more

I think there mainly from House clearances can't really see Families selling there old treasured photo's!!!
