SAL Trivia

Can anyone identify this mystery couple on board the Gripsholm? I found these photos at a flea market just 10 minutes walk from my home. Are they European or American celebrities?

The same couple at the Los Angeles Ostrich Farm.
Are they on their honeymoon? If you know who they are, please email us
