Then the lovers were unable to pay for the photographer's services.

A young couple who had no money and couldn't afford their own wedding photos finally got the chance to see them - 56 years later.

About this  write New York Post.

"She cried a lot. Tears of happiness," said Barry Sharman in an interview with CBC about his wife Margaret. "She was just giddy with joy."

Margaret, 77, and Barry, 78, who married in 1968, hired a wedding photographer for their celebration. But when it came time to pay, the money was only enough to pay for his services, not the photos.

“We never got to pick them up because we didn’t have any money,” Margaret shared.

The lovers from British Columbia, Canada, kept the memory of their special day in their hearts – they didn’t have physical pictures. But years later, Margaret’s longtime friend Sandra Fariniuk was shocked to come across the pictures at the museum where she worked. Fariniuk recognized herself in the Sharmans’ wedding party photo and decided to surprise the couple.

"It was very moving for me to be able to do that," Sandra said.

After retouching the photos, the woman sent them to her husband on Christmas Eve. When Margaret and Barry received their package, they were overjoyed to be able to look back on their wedding day. The set of photos included one of the wedding party, one of the newlyweds, and a third photo of the bride posing alone.

"I just look back and realize how young we were," Barry said. "Marg was 20, I was 21. We've come a long way and had a great time and a great life."

For her part, Margaret is grateful to her photographer for preserving these images.

“He's just an angel who took the time to keep them instead of throwing them away. Every time I think about it, I cry," said Margaret in an interview with the local Summerland Review.

Meanwhile, for Barry, the photos take him back to the moment he first saw his "stunning" bride, wearing a white dress made by her mother. "I was so happy that she chose me," he recalled.
