The groom was Winston Churchill, so you'd think somebody would have taken photographs on his wedding day.

In fact, someone did, but the Churchill Archives Center at Cambridge University, in Cambridge, England, said Wednesday that they can't be found.

Churchill married Clementine Hozier on Sept. 12, 1908, at St. Margaret's Church, opposite the Houses of Parliament.

The guests included future prime minister David Lloyd George and the Duke of Marlborough; King Edward VII sent a gift.

Author Tom Norgate has determined that a photographer, John William Righton, was on the scene at the couple's wedding breakfast, but the Churchill family and the archives have been unable to find any photos.
