I hope you don't mind, I've changed the background.
These look like two very fashionable ladies. My mother wore a dress similar to the lady on the left for her wedding in 1929.  She lived in a small village so I don't imagine she would be up to date with fashion, so I would date this photo a few years earlier.
Is the lady on the right wearing trousers under the skirt?

Sorry I can't understand why it is so small, I tried, but didn't succeed to enlarge it!

Hi Pat

I don't mind at all, it's gorgeous!    Are you able to post a larger version though?

Caz! Where are you getting all these fabulous old pics? I'm so jealous 

My first thought was 1920s but my second was later. There's a cloche hat in the background but the bride isn't wearing any of the trendy 1920s stuff like mobcap, dropped waist or knee-length hemline.

So I went through my bunch of known wedding photos and the closest I could find was 1936. Hemlines were back to full length and satin seems to have been the fabric of choice with minimal lace. Waistlines were back to the waist and although a crown attachment to the headdress was fashionable there were a lot of "classic" veils as well.

The gent cuts quite a figure, doesn't he? I'm thinking this is a society wedding. And I'm also thinking it's the bride's (or groom's) mother and grandmother as there seems to be a bit of an age difference. On the other hand the older lady in the pic doesn't look all that thrilled to be standing next to the younger one  They do have very similar faces, though 

No clue as to where it was taken, I suppose...?

Cheers,
China

Another try. I don't know what happened but all seemed to go wrong when I was working in layers. I have done this before with no problems. I think it is to do with the pixels per inch. I am a complete amateur so don't know too much when things go wrong.
edit - I thought it would be bigger than this, sorry.

How big was the background image Pat? That could have been your problem.   It's okay though as I can make it larger myself and I don't need very large files, so it's all good!
