Our Wedding Day

Page one of related summer memories. This was a very home-made wedding. Mother made my dress - part of a bargain I struck with my father; If he'd agree to letting me participate in a cotillion during my freshman year of college, for which I HAD to have a white dress with a hoop skirt, I'd wear the same dress for my wedding, if it ever happened - hadn't met anyone yet. She also made my sister's dresses and my veil; I made Judy's (my college roommate) while doing student teaching and independent study my senior year. For the sake economy, my bouquet was stephanotis and ivy; the attendants' baby's breath and ivy. The reception was in the church community room, and the cake was made by Polly, for whom I'd worked during one summer. A friend of Dave (DH) took the photos, and gave us a completed album. The photos on this page were scanned from that album.

What fun to see wedding photos from the past! Considering your budget, all of you did a gorgeous job; you and the wedding are lovely. I like the blue lace background, too.

What a cool memory page. Back in the day when weddings were simple..now they get out of control. You made a wonderful page and I loved reading your story but now you need to make it into a 2 pager with all that jouranling on it.

I can so relate to a lot of this story. My wedding was on a shoe string too. A friend did our photos too. Unfortunately, despite what he thought, the friend wasn't a good photographer and nearly 50% of the shots came out blurred. I have only just made myself my first wedding album (after 39 years!) Digitally of course!

Awww.. I so enjoyed reading your story and about your wedding, Jo and seeing you 50 years ago as a young bride. Beautiful photos and really lovely two page layout.

I love this LO. What a wonderful story about your wedding. It reminds me a lot of our wedding in 1964 when we had the reception in the grade school cafeteria. Cake and fruit punch served. Congrats on your 50th.
