This rare photo is from cousin Delphine's wedding in 1960, conducted at the Sacred Heart Church at Katugastota, near Kandy. Delphine would have been about 17 at the time.
From left: Ned Nicol, Kate Fuad (with baby Gordon), Alice Nicol, Mike Fuad, Benjamin Braine (in stylish full brogue or wingtip shoes), Amy Chelvaratnam, Rani Chelvaratnam, and Mary Wijesekera (Aunty Mary). Rosie Braine could be seen behind Ben and Amy.
This is was well before the Burghers began to emigrate.
