I would not change one thing about my wedding..not one. I loved my wedding. And I still love my dress! Can I tell you the story about my dress? It wasn't bought on a mother/daughter dress shopping day unfortunately. Steve and I were living together in Boston and on my way home from work I decided to check out the Filene's basement wedding dress sale....there is usually a line out the door to get in...girls fighting each other for dresses...a crazy scene. Not how I imagined shopping for my wedding dress. I told myself I'd just walk in and walk out...well there it was. Calling my name. I tried it on in the open dressing rooms with a million other girls and a few of them said...That dress was made for you. And it was. And the best part...it was $199...marked down from $1500.
So, here are a few pictures from our day. That's me in the house I grew up in.
My sister and I trying hard to fix the train..
i think that is completely romantic- both getting married at christmas and re-newing your vows...as you would love steve for so many other reasons , as well, now.....
ReplyDeletei have never thought christmas could be bettered by anything- but perhaps a wedding at christmas takes the cake....lovely reminising with you!

Soul sisters, fo sho & once again. We're a December wedding too! LOVED your photos, dear one!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post...and not even on your anniversary. I was just shoving my wedding dress out of the way yesterday when I was trying to get to something in the back of the hall closet....didn't even think twice about it. We will be married 20 years next June...I know I couldn't squeeze into mine, but renewing our vows would be nice.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
I didn't think I could enjoy another wedding post after all that's been going on here.
ReplyDeleteBut I have to say that yours is the ONLY dress I've seen from that time period that I love today. That is gorgeous. And so romantic to marry a guy in uniform. Not all of us can fulfill that Debra Winger dream!
Great photos...I loved looking at them. My daughters wedding is this November. I am both excited and anxious to have it perfect. She , on the other hand, only wants it fun...no need to fret perfect. She says " Mom I want to enjoy the day and I want you to do the same" How can I go wrong? We WILL have fun.
ReplyDeleteI love your dress too. It would be something I would have worn. ( I think you've already seen my wedding dress post.) It is timeless. You had a beautiful Grace Kelly aura about you. Isn't it nice to know you wouldn't do anything different. I think the only thing I would change is registering for China. I'm not a china girl and always feel guilty about the set collecting dust in the cupboard. Fortunately I'm still very happy with my choice of partner though. So I guess I was successful with the important decisions!

Really great dress.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'd renew my vows. It sounds romantic, but so does leaving all of the kids and going someplace special--just the two of us--to rekindle a little AMOUR! ;)
such sweet pics!! I do agree with Dana about the china~used it a lot early on & now can't think if I have used in the last 5 years! (I think my mom tried to tell me) My parents renewed their vows on their 40th, just immediate family & it was so sweet & touching. Maybe wait a bit till your kids can remember it! or do it now & in the future! & take that great trip that Anna mentioned!
