Over at the Gallery today the theme was rewind. When you get to my age (55) you have lots of rewind times to think of. I settled on this picture as its a special day I have never forgotten . It was taken in July 1979 and it is of my bridesmaid and page boy at my wedding.
I wanted tasteful dresses and we only went to one shop to get them. We thought we would have Carole in another colour as she was the adult , and I think it worked. When I got married you didn't have themes or colour matching as such. As the bride you had roses and never really matched up with your bridesmaids like they do now. I remember taking Lucy and Emma to buy there shoes and dresses and how excited they were. I think they all look fab and could even get away with the dresses today, although Emma and Lucy's dresses maybe a little short lol.
We are still married and this year it will be 35 years, how time flies. So thank you Emma, Sam, Lucy and Carole you did a fab job.xxx
Awwww. Hats off to you two. Maybe the secret to a happy marriage is great bridesmaids?!
ReplyDeleteLol thanks and yes maybe you are right !
DeleteI remember that day like it was yesterday! I loved my dress, I felt like a princess at a royal wedding! Very happy memories xxx
ReplyDeleteMe 2 lol. I think those dresses didnt date too much either did they !
DeleteI imagine your bridesmaids have wonderful memories too. I was never a bridesmaid as a child but I think it's a magical day for all :)
