This is a photograph of my parents and their relatives that were part of the wedding party in 1950. Left to right, Delbert ( Moms Brother), Roy (Dads Cousin) Dad, Mom, Vivian "Skip" ( Moms sister) Anna (Dads Sister). They got married at eight o'clock in the evening in a tiny little church in the country.
**************
My Mother writes: " The night we got married Oct 07, 1950 my Mom and Dad had dinner at their home for us all. My Mother in Law to be said, when Papa and I got married we got married on one bushel of love. You have to keep adding to it everyday because what you take out, you have to put back."
*************
My parents had planned to get married in November, but my Dad was going into the Army and leaving earlier than he thought, so he told my Mom he was leaving on a Saturday and the next Saturday they got married and nine days later he left.
Far Guy and I had breakfast with them this morning...they both said " It was just like this the day we got married, rainy and cold ..59 years ago." :)

That is just so special Connie. They both look so happy (like they just finished a meal - haha). So glad you were able to enjoy breakfast with them. Happy Anniversary to your parents. What a great photo taken in the 50's and that it is still so clear and great memories too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely couple. They look so happy and content together. Happy Anniversary to them. I know you are proud of them. Great photos and wonderful memories. I am so glad you shared that.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to your folks! 59 years - wow! That takes hard work and it looks like it certainly paid off!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to the happy couple. You are blessed! My parents were married in 51 and I was born 10months later.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this day!!!
Happy Anniversary to your parents. What a lovely wedding photo and today's photo they look so joyful! Glad you were able to enjoy breakfast with them.
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet. A very nice tribute to your parents. You are lucky.
ReplyDeleteyes, Connie, you are so lucky to have both of your beautiful parents. The pictures are lovely, too. Thanks so much for the great story. Your parents love story has certainly stood the test of time...
ReplyDeleteNow that is a great story to read and picture to see!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jake and M on 59 years. Saw your mom yesterday and didn't know, or I would have congratulated her in person!
ReplyDeleteConnie, how sweet! Your parents married the same day my daughter was born, though in different years. :)
ReplyDeleteYour parents are so cute. Mine got married December 3, 1950 at Mom's parents. She wore a brown suit. I'll have to ask her how Dad came to have a suit. I know they didn't have any money.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your mom and dad. They are very blessed to have 59 years of marraige. I love seeing the wedding picture and the picture today too. Your mom and dad are very special people.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to them! They look very happy together.
ReplyDeleteMy parent's celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary this November so you know I'm on the far side of 50 as well - I love the title of your blog. Your parents look wonderful and obviously have had a great life. I wish them well.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great story. The pictures are heart warming.
ReplyDeleteLook how cute they are!
ReplyDeleteBut I noticed in the wedding photo, no one was smiling..they look so serious!!
the bridesmaids have different dresses. I noted that in some of our old photos too. I don't think weddings were so overly planned and executed back in the day. Especially on a weeks notice. ha
