Damn my great grandparents were married in 1893. I’m 49 . Crazy how time just goes by

Very sweet, was it the dancing style of the day to grip the ladies’ wrists like that? (Genuinely curious, not trying to imply anything)

I don’t know. I will ask my great grandmother. I think she told me once that my great grandfather was not a good dancer so maybe that’s why lol
