Which photo

We are having a small simple remembrance table set up for our grandparents who have passed away. 
My question is do I use a photo of them from their younger years (like their wedding photo) or do I use a photo that is how I remember them (aka 70-80 yrs old)

    I love seeing old wedding photos displayed, but if there is a more recent photo that you love that works, too.

    I love looking at old wedding photos, even if I don't know the couple. I was lucky to inherit many old family wedding portraits from my family and my husband's family. My SILs mom also has quite a collection. DD and SIL scanned the portraits and made a slideshow, which played on a TV in the cocktail room throughout the reception. Since there were no space limitations, they added in some childhood and family reunion pics. 

    If you must choose, I vote for the wedding photos. If there is room, you might add in more recent pics of your grandparents.
