This footage was taken by my mom's Uncle who lived in Michigan. He brought his 8mm camera and at that time. It was rare that anyone in our family had a movie camera. I remember when we visited our relatives in the States when I was seven or eight years old, she told us that he had the movie and that she had never seen it.
Many years later, in my late 20's, I remembered the conversation about the movie. I contacted our relatives in Detroit, but they said they had no idea where those movies were since my mom's Uncle died many years before. About two years after this, they found the wedding sequence among their own family videos. We were in Detroit that same weekend to pick up the movies.
Wonderful! I'm Armenian and from Detroit. This reminds me of my family's old home movies. Lisa
