Our 20th is this October.

My wedding dress was an off-the-rack Gunny Sax prom dress for which I paid almost nothing.  The stupid veil I didn't want to wear in the first place cost twice as much as that wonderful dress.

Our wedding was very small and very 'country'.....both the church and the Inn where our reception took place have been there since the Revolutionary War.  It's nice to think that 200+ years of brides and grooms have said their vows in that same place!

And YES....I think we old-married folk deserve kudos for hanging in there! [lghy]

Her dress and veil were blue, so why not blue shoes too?

We're heading toward 28 years in April, 2003.


My parents are heading toward 50 years in January, 2003. I have to plan a party for them. I know my brothers won't do it.

[thumb][thumb]In five years, I hope my children will give us a 50th anniversary party.  We celebrated our 45th this July.  Now you know about how old I am!
Yes, I think that the dress, veil and shoes were blue.

Where are they getting these bodies, Mulder,  are they making them?

I certainly hope so too. Happy 45th! I am divorced, but I would have been married 17 years on Sept. 28th, oh well! I'm glad it worked out for you though.

Congrats to you, too, Rainey!

I wore a halter wedding dress that I saw in a bridal magazine and my aunt's friend made it for $80.

How nice! The cheapest place we could find was the reception hall over a bowling alley. Our daughter thinks that was a hoot--as if who would have a reception  there.

 I sometimes wonder how we got this far--it went by so fast!

I'm sure you will have lots of fun planning it even if your brothers won't help. Gosh, 50 years for us won't be until 2025--I should live so long!

Congrats to you, too, Afan. Who cares how old you are as long as you are young at heart.
