Ann and Chris Jackson on their wedding day
When they divorced a few years later, many had forgotten the photo even existed.
Ann, who was aged just 17 when she began dating Chris, says: “It wasn’t as though Chris had done anything wrong – we just never saw one another because he was working the entire time helping run the family haulage business.”
They would have stayed divorced, if it was not for the inadvertent rediscovery of their wedding photo a quarter of a century later and the amazing chain of events it set off.
