I love weddings. Chelsea looked gorgeous and so happy. Share a pic or memory of your wedding!

[mnhtnbb]

Here we are in May 1985. Married in the home of friends (second time around for both of us).
This is the only photo we have left of our wedding as our wedding album was destroyed in the fire
three years ago.

[LibDemAlways]

1. I'm sorry you lost your album in a fire.

Those pics are truly irreplaceable.

I was married in 1973 - 37 years ago this week. I was too young to get married, but my parents put a lot of pressure on me not to "live in sin" so it seemed like the right thing to do. It was a modest wedding held early in the day and followed by a brunch for close friends and family. We honeymooned by taking a long road trip with very limited funds. Someone spotted the "just married" sign on the car and paid our toll on the Oakland Bay Bridge. Have tried to pay that act of kindness forward many times.

Anyhow, 37 years later we're still together and raising a teenager who was born just in time to help us celebrate our 20th anniversary. She's the light of our lives and makes it all worthwhile.

8. Happy Anniversary!

[femmocrat]

2. Tuesday is my 42nd anniversary! Aug. 3, 1968.

I have no idea where the years went. We had a small but formal wedding with about 75 guests, mostly family. My aunt made my wedding gown. :)

[Tikki]

4. Congratulations all....

In a couple of weeks Mr. Tikki and I will be celebrating our 43rd Wedding Anniversary.
Summer Of Love and all.


The Tikkis

[femmocrat]

23. Thank you and Congratulations to you, too!

And they said it wouldn't last! LOL

3. Here's a picture of a dude in India marrying his dog

They always say you should marry your best friend.

Here's some context, although I don't believe this picture needs any.

5. 6 years ago in May

[mnhtnbb]

10. May's a good month!

[tigereye]

75. that's a lovely picture!

[NewJeffCT]

88. Great pic

thanks for sharing it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Here's ours...

I'm so sorry you lost yours in a fire. That is a beautiful picture!

We've been very lucky! Just celebrated 45 years in June...

[mnhtnbb]

11. Aww..happy belated Anniversary!

[Sanity Claws]

97. The two men next to you look like MIT types

Were the three of you engineering students?
I hope you're not offended but that is what I thought as soon as I saw the photo.

[PassingFair]

7. Me, checking out the goods:

Q: What is worn under a kilt?

A: Nothing. Everything is in perfect working order....

[mnhtnbb]

12. LOL! The friends of mine in whose home we were married had a

medieval themed wedding. He wore a cloak and her dress was similarly styled to yours!

Thanks for posting!

[auntAgonist]

17. I just love this photograph of you and yours.

You look gorgeous and the man ain't so bad either :)

:hi:

[tigereye]

76. that's hilarious! What kind of tartan is that?

[PassingFair]

86. Inverness.

It was the only one that was available in the
sizes of the groomsmen.

[Heidi]

13. Sadly, we have no wedding photos to share, as I married a young Socialist

and we, together in our poverty and youthful superiority, eschewed such capitalist trappings as wedding photography, a gown which would have admirably showcased my once-magnificent cleavage, and a suit that would have highlighted Call Me Wesley's once-narrow waist and still-broad manly shoulders.

If we had it to do over, with the stuff we have today, I would have hand typed on manual typewriters wedding invitations to no fewer than 1,000 capitalist guests, mounted our various Polaroid cameras on tripods and recorded for posterity my once-gravity-defying cleavage and Call Me Wesley's once narrow waist, and started a Lounge thread about it all.

:rofl:

[mnhtnbb]

14. What a shame.

[Heidi]

15. I know. My boobs aren't nearly as magnificent, now that I'm a capitalist,

as they were when I was a poor and guided-by-hormones wannabe Socialist. :D

[mnhtnbb]

26. All I know is that my boobs hang lower...now.

[Kali]

16. ...

:rofl: :applause:

[tigereye]

77. he he, sounds like fun!

[Kali]

18. here is a shot from my wedding

he went on to be in a pretty famous Phx area band (hint: wc fields' nose)

[PassingFair]

19. I'm guessing Gin Blossoms?

Looks like he's having fun.

[Kali]

20. yep

that or Alice Cooper, huh? :rofl:

[CBR]

21. Me and Jonathan... December wedding

[PassingFair]

22. December in Delaware?

How did you heat up those tents?

[CBR]

25. We got married in Virginia but I left that to the wedding

planner and she worked her magic. The ceremony and dinner were in a big old country house next to the reception tent.

It was fabulous.

[hippywife]

27. Thirteen years ago last July 5th.

We had a small wedding of just family and close friends. It was outdoors at my sister's house. My mom did my flowers and she and my sisters did all the cooking, except for the cake. It was a fabulous day weatherwise and a beautiful wedding. We rented a white canopy, some tables and chairs. The whole shebang was around $1500. He's still the love of my life and I never want to be without him. :D

We didn't have a photographer, just scattered around those little disposable cameras for the guests to take pictures themselves and then developed them all. So the pics aren't really technically great but good enough to capture all the memories.




I'm so very sorry to hear about your wedding photos. That must have really broken your heart. :hug:

[auntAgonist]

31. Beautiful Finally a pic of Hippywife and HippyHubby!

thanks for sharing.

kesha

[hippywife]

33. Well, that WAS over 13 years ago, ya know. LOL

Watch your PMs. :loveya:

[mnhtnbb]

36. Happy belated Anniversary to you, too hippywife!

Thanks for sharing.

[tigereye]

78. so that's what you look like! Nice pics, btw

:hi:

[pengillian101]

98. I just saw this picture of you and hippyhubby.

Too cute! You are a doll - thanks for posting it!

[NNadir]

28. First Marriage Photo.

What I remember of it is that my Mum kept breathing through the whole thing, and as far as I can tell, is still doing so now.

My mum apparently is planning on living as long as her Mum.

Sigh...

[mnhtnbb]

35. LOL. Good one.

:rofl:

[HipChick]

29. I don't know why but I tore mine up

when I got divorced, didn't see any point in keeping them...I did keep the bridemaids, guest etc..

[mnhtnbb]

52. Been there!

[RockaFowler]

30. I love weddings

This year will be our 10th anniversary.



I love that my husband wore a top hat. What a great day we had. :)

[auntAgonist]

32. Congrats! Very nice photo, distinguished looking couple. It's out

10th anniversary this year too!

:toast:

aA
kesha

[mnhtnbb]

34. Love that top hat!

[canoeist52]

37. Gosh, do we look happy! Wow 27 years, now!

I'm the goofy one on the left. :)

[Echotrail]

65. Yes!

You both look adorable!

It is fun looking through this photo album of weddings.

I was married in my parent's yard. Sadly, we only made it 10 years and we've both stayed single for the intervening 10 years....

[Xipe Totec]

38. My perfect moment

[tigereye]

79. nice! Cool to see a pic of you, too!

[hobbit709]

39. This was Donna and I at our wedding

this was the reception

It was the Jerry Garcia Memorial Wedding-everyone had to wear tie-dye.

[mnhtnbb]

51. That's great! Love it.

[Echotrail]

66. It's too bad you couldn't agree on a theme.

Lol!
It looks like a really fun wedding!

[VenusRising]

40. Zodiak and me.

We would have been married for 10 years on August 19th. It was the happiest day of my whole life, and there will never be another man like him. I was blessed and lucky to have had him for the time I did.

[PassingFair]

41. Oh!

The price of happiness can be overwhelming.
Time is the only healer.
We miss his presence here, too.

:hug:

[VenusRising]

42. Thank you, PassingFair.

:hug::loveya:

[mnhtnbb]

47. Oh, what a gorgeous photo.

:hug:

What can I say? Life is so unpredictable. :cry:

[VenusRising]

53. It's my favorite wedding picture of all.

It is very unpredictable and very unfair. :(

[Sky Masterson]

85. You both were so beautiful.

I LOVE this picture! It should be the cover of a romance novel. :) :loveya:

[DFW]

89. Second that sentiment! n/t

[VenusRising]

94. Thanks, Sky,

I LOVE that picture, too. My favorite of all. We were a romance novel with a tragic ending.

:hi::loveya:

[Sky Masterson]

95. ((hugs))

:hug:It sure had a great beginning and middle though.
I'm sorry,my friend.
:loveya: :hug:

[Brickbat]

43. I bought the dress the night before, we wrote our vows on the drive to the courthouse, and I was

crying so, ultimately, I didn't say my part of the vows. Some of the photos are hideous, I'm standing with my arms crossed as Mr. Brickbat is reading our vows to me. It looks like I'm totally being forced into it.

[mnhtnbb]

49. LOL. Good story.

[applegrove]

44. Here is a photo of my parent's wedding. It took place at my mother's farm.

[mnhtnbb]

50. What a pretty setting!

[NewJeffCT]

93. nice picture

and, a good looking couple.

[applegrove]

96. Thanks.

[Bombero1956]

45. This was us almost 31 years ago as of October 20th

and this was us last Easter.



My wife will start chemo therapy in 2 weeks. I am hopeful that she will be alright....she means the world to me.

[PassingFair]

46. I expected to see seniors in the "after" shot.

You guys haven't changed much!

I'm a pessimist, but I currently have
2 friends and 1 relative on chemo therapy,
and they are doing GREAT!!

Stay as positive as you can.

:hug:

[mnhtnbb]

48. Stay positive, keep smiling, laugh every day and hopefully,

the chemo will be a success.

:hug:

[JohnnyLib2]

73. Nice pictures and best wishes ahead.

See pm. :thumbsup:

[tigereye]

80. lovely, wish your wife well with her treatments!

[SoxFan]

54. A bridesmaid horked on the altar

Poor Bonnie! This was in New Orleans, in June of 1995. It was hot even by NOLA standards (about 98), and I think it that, along with the lack of sleep and general excitement, finally caught up with her.

The ironic thing is that Bonnie was one of the few people at the wedding who rarely drinks. My groomsmen singlehandedly paid for the retirement of the entire staff at Pat O'Brien's and Abita Brewery.

[LaurenG]

55. Colorado September '93

I cried because he wrote some awesome vows (that were a surprise to me) and his step mom and step brothers sang "Somewhere Out There."

I'm really sorry you lost all of your photos. :(

[mnhtnbb]

58. Love your dress. Very 40's look to go with George Brent mustache

on your groom! (GB's daughter was a classmate of mine for a couple of years
in high school.)

My dress was tea length.

[Echotrail]

67. Love your dress, and the veil. too!

Looks like it was made for you.

[NewJeffCT]

56. ok, here are some

My wife is Chinese, and tradition is that the couple gets formal pictures taken before the wedding, so they can give them out at the wedding... however, because of timing issues around 9/11, we didn't actually do this until after we got married.

[mnhtnbb]

59. Great look on both of you! The fabric in your jacket is wonderful!

[NewJeffCT]

61. My wife wore several different outfits

that day, and I wore 3 or 4. I'd post more pics, but that's the only one in my photobucket account right now.

[PassingFair]

60. You might appreciate this guy's blog...

http://www.rahoi.com/2006/03/may-i-take-your-order/

It's been inactive for a while, but it
is my favorite.

His Engrish stuff is funny, but his
life with his Chinese relatives is
hilarious.

[NewJeffCT]

62. My wife has used a few

Neither one of us is religious, but one time she was angry at something and said, "Jesus Crisis" instead of Jesus Christ. I think she has heard Jesus Christ as a curse/swear at work, so tried to use it once in another situation. I almost never swear, so I'm sure she didn't pick it up from me.

[tigereye]

81. wow! Great pic!

Looking at the two of you, I would guess your daughter(just the one?) is lovely.

[NewJeffCT]

84. Here are a few more pictures

[guitar man]

63. Sorry to hear about the fire :(

:(

We didn't have a church wedding or anything like that. we were married in the Creek County OK courthouse with a couple of cops for witnesses. Her sister and mother were fussing over the the wedding and it started a squabble. We didn't have much money at all so we just ran off and got married by a judge. No wedding pictures of course, but here's a picture of us from right around the time we were married, this was taken in early '92.

[mnhtnbb]

71. Thanks. Courthouse works for me!

[denbot]

64. Alley and I just before drinking out of our wedding vase and sealing the deal..

I really liked my wedding, out doors on an ocean bluff, native traditions, mexican food, cupcakes for a wedding cake, open bar for friends and family.

Out of all the weddings I've attended, if I was a guest I would rate mine as the best.

[mnhtnbb]

69. Oh, that's the way you want it to be--your own as the best!

[tigereye]

82. ah, I seem to remember pix of your wedding being posted here...

looks like a beautiful day and ceremony. It's nice when weddings are fun and relaxing, too!

[jesus_of_suburbia]

68. I love this thread. I love all the pics....

DU'ers are great!

I plan on being here for the long haul, and when I meet "the one", I'll post the pics.

[mnhtnbb]

70. Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match...

Not far off from how I met hubby.

In the early 80's, in Los Angeles, there was a guy, along with his sister and mother (the original
yenta) who started a video dating service called "Great Expectations". Yep. That's how we met.
I have a good friend whom I also persuaded to join, and she's been married for 20 some years
now, too, to the man she met through the service.

Today, it's computer matchmaking. Go for it!

[jesus_of_suburbia]

72. I'm tryin' here!

I'll let ya know when it happens, lol!

[tigereye]

83. I'll have to see if I can find a good one of mine to scan

next year it will be 20 years!

[mnhtnbb]

90. Yes! We want a picture!

[DFW]

87. My brother invited my wife and me to our own wedding

In December 1981, my brother caught up with me by phone in Boston and asked if I wanted to be
best man at his wedding the following April. I said sure, and said I would see if my (then-)
girlfriend could manage to take off work in Germany and fly over for it.

My brother said, well, if we were both going to be there, we might as well join in the fun.
My wife and I already had such hectic schedules that we never seemed to find the time to
plan a wedding. So, if someone else were to do it for us, who was gonna turn THAT down?

I called over to Germany and told her my brother and his girlfriend (whom my wife already knew)
were getting married next April, and asked if she thought she could get away. She said she would
definitely make time to be there. I then told her of his suggestion for a double wedding. She
said the German equivalent of "sure, works for me."

Not the most romantic of proposals, but we had already been together for over 7 years by then, too.

That was in 1982. Tempus fugit.

The wedding looked like the UN, and the Washington press had unofficially dubbed it the Axis wedding
(they never dared say that in print) since my brother's wife was from Japan and my wife was from Germany.

My wife and her dad right before the ceremony, one of my favorite pics of her:


And afterward, when the formal stuff was done with:


One result was a pair of the most unlikely-looking cousins you can imagine, too:

[mnhtnbb]

91. I LOVE it! What a great story.

[DFW]

92. Wherever else I may have messed up along the way......

At least in this, I got the fairy tale.

Nothing is more important.
