We Get Hitched

We Get Hitched
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park Theme of: WEDDINGS
Ok, this is a little bit of a cheat because this is not before 1980, but it's October of 1982. Posting it anyway!
This is my husband and I on our wedding day. We were married by a Justice of the Peace who was also a sheep farmer, so it took place on her farm.
I bought the pink furry jacket a few years before at a church sale. It was clearly from the 1950s and would have worked well with a straight long skirt, but I paired with an Indian cotton dress that I bought two nights before - because, why not?
I wore the amethyst necklace that my Nana had asked me years before to wear at my wedding (imagining me in white, I assume) and grabbed the flowers off the kitchen table as we left.
We don't remember where Brian got his jacket - but probably at a sale years earlier in his hometown.
It was a perfect day!

Now that is a picture of pure joy! A wonderful day for sure.

Do you still have the necklace? It looks wonderful. And your husband's tie is cool also.

Thanks, Laura! I do still have the necklace, which I treasure, but don't have a lot of occasions to wear it. Perhaps one of my grandchildren will someday!

Perfect wedding! Were there many human guests, or mostly sheep?

Thank you, Ellie! We had just my parents and Brian's mom with us. We were definitely not into a lot of fuss - so we were really happy with how it went.
Our friends and families might have grumbled about not being invited, but if they did we never heard about it.
They were probably just amazed we actually got married. : )

You both had wonderful smiles. Here's hoping the smiles are still there.

Still there, but with a few more wrinkles and probably the same amount of accompanying eyerolls. : D
Thanks, Ronald!
