Married 41 years ago today in 1977! This was fairly typical of the style back then. I really loved my dress but by today's standards, we look very dated - but then we are - lol!
1989. Armenian Orthodox Church in San Francisco.
We were married in 2006 on St. Patrick's Day at a B&B on the shore in CT with maybe 15 close friends and family. The second picture is us in the beach and was given to us by a friend who attended and edited the picture so it was black and white with only the flowers in color.
Oh Deb, what a great thread! (that rhymed)Thanks for starting this. I hope it really takes off.
It is SO nice to finally put a beautiful face to the beautiful lady I've chatted with all these years! I particularly love your veil.
I am far older that you. We know this because you got married at around the time of Lady Diana and Prince Charles. I had been married for ages by the time they got hitched!
1984 baby! The decade of wedding hats
I don't want to share a photo of me wearing it, so here's the model.
I deliberately cut our heads off...but it is the dress that takes up the whole picture anyway....lol
These are photos from my marriage in 2002, which lasted 10 years.
But I get married again in 21 days and will share those photos afterwards!
...may it be your dream wedding. You already have your dream guy!
This dress was about $1800. The little lace jacket was $600. My veil was about $100.
Oh my gosh, what beautiful brides (and handsome grooms).
Sharon, @canuk-gal, you are radiant.
(Haha making up for some missing pics from you know who I will happily share).
@MissGotRocks, Happy Anniversary.
We got married at city hall 3 months before the scheduled "big" wedding because I finally felt sure and ready and all of a sudden I wanted to marry the love of my life as soon as I could. So spontaneously (which is so not me) I said let's elope despite the fact our planned wedding was 3 months away and so we did. I cannot find pics of the polka dot A line above the knee dress I wore when we were married by the Judge at City Hall but here's what I wore three months later.
We got married at a "kitschy" place called The Grand Prospect Hall -it was perfect for our fun wedding. The wedding place was grandiose but tongue in cheek and we both just knew it was the place we wanted to get married. It really was very low key planning and neither of us were stressed in the time leading up to or during the day. In fact the manager at The Grand Prospect said he had never seen such a calm and cool bride. Haha that is not really my MO but that day it sure was. And we all had a blast. Wonderful memories and I wouldn't have changed a thing.
With my flower girls and the ring bearer. My nieces and nephew. My other nieces were not yet born at the time.
I did not like the wedding veil-it was just too much veil for me but I wore it as a favor to my mom who borrowed the veil from her best friend and it meant something to the both of them that I wear it so I did. I forget the designer (because I am not into that) but it was a famous designer.
The dress was a sample dress I got for 1/3 the price but still it was the most I had ever spent on a dress ever. Crazy for one day but again worth it completely. It was a wonderful day.
I don't think we missed one dance.
Cutting the cake to "When I'm 64". Oops we are almost there.
Dancing till we couldn't dance anymore
At the end of the evening when everyone had gone. We didn't hire a photographer (and didn't do video) but instead had our good friend Bob who is a dentist but also an artist take photos for us. It was the perfect low key and non intrusive type of photography we wanted. My good friend Tom also took some nice photos.
That's all folks.
And such lovely pics, you both look amazing and so happy!
Married 2/2006 in St Petersburg, Florida at the Vinoy. Dress cost $1500, half of which were because of alterations. Tiara was $300,Veil was $10 on Amazon.
Very pretty, Sharon. It looks kind of like romantic ballet tutu (which I love). Do you have any more photos of it?
Deb
Packed away. If I remember the next time I am at my Mom's house, I'll take a picture.
Me with my Mom, 2008 NY JOP wedding performed lakeside. I wore cap sleeves since I had to wear a bra and needed something to cover the straps. The dress had some cleavage showing but the sheer panel covered that up somewhat. I wasn't really concerned with showing "too much" skin, just being comfortable. It was June and pretty warm. I also don't think women have to dictate themselves to any type of dress code ever, not even for a wedding. If a particular church or similar religious institute has a dress code then it's her choice to participate or not, but I don't hold that standard to anyone for any reason.
I deliberately cut our heads off...but it is the dress that takes up the whole picture anyway....lol
I agree, and there is something especially appealing about the way you are interacting with your puppy, ceg. You look like someone out of Camelot (Kennedy). (That is a compliment.)

You and your hubby are adorable, yennyfire. You are a beautiful, tiny elf! I never used to be a small person. When I got married I was almost 5'5". But I shrank and am now only 5'2 " and weigh 111 lbs. People keep calling me tiny. It looks to me as if you must have been tiny all your life! You look adorable beside your big husband! (And I know from your postings what a smart and wise woman you are, of course.) Mazel Tov on your marriage!
Big hugs,
Deb
The photos are ravishing, ILikeShiny. Simply out of this world. And you are taking the plunge again! I wish you the best of luck and happiness!
Hugs,
Deb
Thank you! I keep looking at the photo and realize we were babies!You look like a princess, September_Blue. Just beautiful.
Deb
Queenie-
Did you and your husband kneel and get crowned with wreaths because you were "a king and queen on your wedding day" in your rite?
