Marcus’s graduation
For a wedding, Forever Photo asks
When did you know Lucy had found the right person?
The occasion you pick changes what the interview asks, so the words fit the day they’re read.
Pick the occasion and the keepsake arrives that morning. A short sample from each one is below.
Arrives on
The morning of the wedding
Parents and grandparents often write this one months ahead, while the planning is still going on.
“I wrote this back in March, when you two were still arguing about the flowers. You were always the calm one at every party. You’ll be fine today.”
Arrives on
Graduation morning, 1 June unless you pick another day
Grandparents write to a grandchild who might still be in grade school.
“Look at you in that gown. Go and find your grandmother in the crowd. She’ll be the one waving the program over her head.”
Arrives on
A birthday years away: an 18th, a 21st, a 50th
Tell us the day the person was born, and we work out the morning.
“You’re eighteen today. When I wrote this you were four and wouldn’t wear anything but those green dinosaur boots, even to church.”
Arrives on
Christmas morning, Thanksgiving, or New Year’s Day
A keepsake for the first holiday apart, or the fiftieth one together.
“Put the kettle on before anybody opens anything. That was always the rule in my house, and somebody has to keep it going.”
Arrives on
The date you married, or the day you met
Husbands and wives write to each other, and some write one for every year still to come.
“Forty years ago tonight you stepped on my foot at the Legion hall and said sorry four times. Still the best dance I’ve had.”
Arrives on
A birthday once the baby is grown
Written the week a grandchild arrives, and opened eighteen or twenty-one years later.
“You were born at 3:12 in the morning. Your dad fell asleep in the hospital chair still holding the car seat instructions.”
Ruth writes to her granddaughter Emily for her graduation, one screen at a time. Press Play to hear it with sound.
Pick the person and the occasion. Your first keepsakes are free, and you can stop and come back whenever you like.
These arrive on whatever day you pick. Many people choose a birthday.
Arrives on
Any day, often a birthday or the anniversary of the story itself
The story behind an old photograph, told before nobody is left who remembers it.
“The house on Elm Street had a crack in the kitchen ceiling shaped like Ohio. Your great-grandfather swore he’d fix it. He never did.”
Arrives on
An ordinary day you pick for no reason at all
These are often the keepsakes people keep longest.
“Nothing’s wrong. I was folding towels and thought of the way you used to hide in the linen closet. That’s all.”
Arrives on
A day you choose, and you can move or cancel the date any time
The keepsake nobody wants to write, and the reason most people come to us. Take as long as you need.
“If you’re reading this, the tomatoes need staking by the end of May. Your mother never believed me about that. Do it anyway.”
