It was on a Sunday, 20th November, 1966. Rev. Fr. William Smith, the Rector, of St. Michael's Church, Penampang, allowed it. A Sunday Service coinciding a Wedding Service. A Rector's decision. The wedding invitations were sent out a good fortnight earlier and the regular Sunday Church Service goers were well informed. Marriage Banns and Wedding Days were announced in Church on three consecutive Sunday Masses previously in those days. A good crowd were present for the Sunday cum Wedding Service and nearly all of them stayed on for the wedding group photograph which was taken outside the church after the Service.
It could not be done...simply, it's impossible! But, suppose, if the whole episode could be redone, so to speak, the pre, while and post parts of the whole episode, which particular details would they want be done differently?
Of all the numerous black and white photographs taken during the occasion, this last termite-partially-spared one is appended as a reminder of an event which happened in the past. It is coming to 44 years old.
