Texas family seeks owners of mysterious vintage wedding photo found in garage<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Texas family seeks owners of mysterious vintage wedding photo found in garage:- Emmy Ordonez said her uncle found the large photo while cleaning the garage on a property the family rents in Dallas.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My uncle was digging through the back shed garage. When he was cleaning it out, the owners told him, ‘Take out the junk,'” Ordonez, 29, told ABC News. “He said there were broken antiques, broken furniture, bags with paper that had turned to mush, and they found the picture in the corner of the garage. It was the only thing that was intact, which was amazing because, wow, it looks great for being there.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Her uncle brought the photo to Ordonez\u2019s attention in hopes she could help find its rightful owner. They posted a picture of the stunning black and white bride and groom to their Lakewood neighborhood\u2019s Facebook page where it generated lots of buzz, but no real leads.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their only clue? The photographer\u2019s name and penciled inscription in the corner of the cardboard frame: “Portrait by Valeche” and “Valeche, NY.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We Googled it and it says it\u2019s from New York,” she said. “You can see it clear as day like it\u2019s a brand new picture.”<\/span><\/p>\n

An article from The Brooklyn Daily Eagle on June 9, 1926, reported that F. Valeche was known for portrait photography.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Brooklyn has its makers of photographic supplies, and its commercial photographers, as well as photographers engaged in portrait work,” it reads, describing Valeche as “the latter.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve had this picture for a year already. My uncle has been bugging about it, I\u2019ve been worried about it,” said Ordonez. “If it was us, we would want it back. Everyone who has lived in that house previously are deceased. That\u2019s what we found. But maybe they weren\u2019t named on the lease.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Ordonez said her family contacted the property owner when they first made the discovery to see if he had any answers but he didn\u2019t seem to have any connection to it or personal interest in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ordonez\u2019s grandmother lives next door to the rented property and has been there for “years and years and years” and didn’t know who the people in the picture were either.<\/span><\/p>\n

“She\u2019s worked most of her life as a waitress, so she was hardly home and, back then, she said it was a neighborhood that was more of a retirement area where older people lived,” Ordonez explained. “As years went by, it\u2019s become more of a Hispanic community.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The bride\u2019s floor-length satin gown, lily bouquet and beaming smile and the groom\u2019s strapping military uniform, which they believe is an army uniform from World War II, haunt Ordonez and her family who would love to know who the newlyweds are and learn about their love story.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It seems like they lived a good life,” she said. “To spend that kind of money for that kind of dress, I was like, \u2018Wow.\u2019 We noticed, as well, he has a little pinky ring. We think he looks kind of Italian.”<\/span><\/p>\n

They have a soft spot for the mysterious military couple, since Ordonez\u2019s husband is retired military as well. The pristine old photo brings them joy.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s something immaculate. It\u2019s amazing,” said Ordonez. “Something you would only see in the movies. It\u2019s in great condition and you can tell it had to mean something special to someone.”<\/span><\/p>\n
