Smores making biscuits as usual. Look at her orange coloring in the natural light! 😍

My grandfather was 20 and my grandmother was 16 in this photo. Funny fact: my grandfather was tall (he stood 6 feet tall) and thought my grandmother was too short to be his wife. Because she was 16 when they got married, everyone told him she would continue to grow just like he did in his teens. Well, that didn’t happen and she stayed at 4’10 for the rest of her 96 years of life 😂

Today is also 8.15, National Liberation Day in South Korea where Korea celebrate liberation from Japan occupation for 35 years (1910 to 1945) on August 15, 1945. My grandparents here married during the occupation and yet held a traditional Korean wedding. Not sure how strict the rules were but I could only imagine how difficult it was to live through this. Wished I asked my grandmother more about her story when she was alive (grandfather passed before I was born).
