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!

We couldn't quite believe we'd done it - but we were pretty happy!

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!
