Harold Remine, the brother of Therese Remine, married Lillian Heddle on 7 July 1925 in Port Huron, Michigan.
Pretty snazzy outfit and a pretty girl.
What I remember of her was when she was white-haired and living with Harold in a beautiful brownstone in Montreal with fine china and in a lovely lakeside home outside the city. Harold had done quite well for himself (and for her). That was 1967, when I went with my parents to Expo 67, the World’s Fair. (That was a fabulous experience BTW).
In a University of Michigan alumni book (Michigan Alumnus 54 1947) I learned:
Harold H. Remine, ’21, has been promoted from Superintendent of Electrical Distribution to Assistant Chief Engineer of the Quebec Hydro Electrical Commission.
Thank you to Uncle Don for pointing me in the direction to find this.
Harold was a big curling fan. That trip is when I first learned of the existence of the sport.
What do you think of Lillian’s dress? Check out the bottom of the photo . . . .

What a fantastic photo! And how fun to have relatives who loved curling!
I’d never heard of curling, and Harold took us to a curling club. It was fascinating because it seemed like such an energetic sport and yet one that seemed accessible (although I know it was not haha) to me. Thanks for stopping by, SH!
cool photo! she looks like shes floating!
Doesn’t it?! That photo must have taken a lot of work and there is no doubt there was a helper besides the photographer!
The dress is lovely and so quintessential Roaring 20s!!
When I was a kid I used to read a lot of old series books like Nancy Drew and others that didn’t exist any more even then. They belonged to my mom and my grandmother. I always imagined the girls in those old books looking like Lillian here in pretty dance dresses and with their hair like this.
I read Nancy Drew also—but always imagined her in pants and jacket!
You obviously read the new Nancy Drew books, not the ones where she drove a roadster!!!
New? I read them over 50 years ago!!
I read the original blue books! They were written in the 30s and sometimes 40s. Did you read the tweed that came after them for a short time or the yellow spines? Our generation was mainly yellow spines.
Yellow spines! I still have some of them somewhere. I think I read them all (that is, all the ones that existed when I was 8 or 9 and going through them like wildfire).
My favorite one was the Larkspur Lane one, but they were all great. So were Judy Bolton books. She had red hair instead of “titian” like Nancy (which for anybody who cares is a form of red instead of blonde haha).
I’ve never heard of Judy Bolton. Guess I missed out. And now I have to see if I have Larkspur Lane!
How gorgeous! What a fantastic photo!
Thanks so much, PJ. It’s really magnificent. The original is quite large, too, and the quality is so much better than what you can see here.
Great photo; her dress is lovely.
Isn’t it though?! Just beautiful and yet kind of “simple.” Not frilly.
🙂 there is enough going on in the dress to be interesting, without detracting from the beautiful woman wearing it. That’s pretty much my definition of a great dress!
I agree!
Her dress is beautiful! I love how it’s swirling around her. Her veil and hair look still so it must have been the lightest of breezes catching her skirt. Little girls would adore that!
Oh, what a wonderful description, Amberly! I love it. Yes, big girls too ;)!
It’s definitely unusual to combine the short dress with the floating material – almost fairy-like. And the huge bouquet too.
Barb, I thought that about the bouquet, too. So oversized it’s a real luxury.
Great photo and beautiful bride and dress!
Thank you so much! Yes, they are gorgeous!!
Hi Luanne, My sister Nonny, a millinery and dressmaking teacher, explained to me years ago that in the 20’s pretty material for wedding gowns was in short supply after the war, and that the “in thing” was to have a shorter dress. We live in Australia of course, but shortages of all sorts of things was world wide. It is a beautiful gown and picture though – don’t you just love old photographs.
The dress is lovely and looks very stylish. The style almost has a hint of the flapper look that was popular in the 1920s.
That is what I thought. Not a trashy flapper look, but a very stylish one.
What a beautiful photo. Has an ethereal effect!
I agree–it really does!!
