This is it, a look back 39 years ago today. High school sweethearts tying the knot! It was cold, twenty below zero. The church was full of people. The Bride was nervous, hoping she wouldn't trip or pass out. The Groom was nervous too.
Still time to back out?
Walk slower Dad! This is not a race, they can't start without us!

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I really enjoyed reading the newspaper clippings and seeing all the wedding pictures. You were a beautiful bride. Boy how time flies! I was away from home all day yesterday, so just seeing this post. You and Far Guy are a great couple!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely wedding and cute couple! Congratulations! thank you for sharing all your pictures....yes...we were all so young back then but we didn't think so! I was amazed how everyone came from so far away in the middle of winter too....you all were loved!
ReplyDeleteI was a bridesmaid for a friend from college and I think it was that same year and I took a Greyhound bus to Ashland, Wisconsin. They were married on the 21st and we also wore red velvet and it was REALLY cold up there! I think of them every year but have lost touch with them. I hope they are still married and have had a happy life. I love happy endings!
These are great photos, I love them!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Red and white for your wedding! What a cute couple you made. Those glasses are to die for. Your dress is so pretty... did you make it... or where did you find it? How much did it cost back then? The red dresses look like they were maybe velvet? Your Grandma D looks like she mighta been holding back a crying jag. I know, asking a lot of questions lol but I love old photos and enjoy learning the history about old photos and what happened in other people's lives. (I would have been 12 years old at the time you guys married, just under a month to my 13th birthday.) Happy 51st anniversary!! *now she goes back to the current 2020 blog post*
ReplyDeleteHi Diana, I bought the dress in a bridal shop I think it was 80 dollars. Yes the bridesmaids gowns were red velvet. My Mother sewed the little flower girl gowns.
