Let's revive your Grandparents Love Stories!

Who ever wondered how their grandparents fell in love? Was it at first sight? Or was it years after their first meeting? Were they kids, teenagers or adults? What happened the first time they met? How did they meet? But above all, how did they manage to make their love last through all these years?There are always great things to find when investigating the past. Ask your grandparents to reveal what might be one of the most beautiful love stories you have ever heard. They are plenty of questions waiting to be answered and wonderful stories waiting to be revealed.Your grandparents could be the next stars at one of our exhibitions. Pictures also make great stories so don't hesitate to include one or two if you can find some.
