Stephanie at Angelic Accents loves weddings. Her anniversary is in June, and June is the ‘traditional’ month for weddings in the United States. To celebrate all this goodness, Stephanie is hosting a blog party TODAY! Click on her link, Angelic Accents and head over and join the party! A good time is guaranteed for all!
To celebrate weddings, I thought I would post some pictures from mine. My husband Carl and I were married on April 2, 1977. No June wedding for me! Somehow we got the wedding planned and organized in a short 5 months. Our son Scott was married last April 4, 2009 to the beautiful Melainie and I never realized HOW much work was involved, they were engaged for almost 18 months. Times have changed, that’s for sure! I thought it would be fun to show some side by side pictures of similar shots, some 32 years apart to show how much things have changed, and probably have a good laugh, too..

I love your photos! You have GOT to go to my wedding post... we have the same tuxes!
ReplyDeleteI love the tradition, that no matter how many years apart - the poses are almost the same! How sweet. My favourite of yours is the one from the back of the car, it's a classic!
ReplyDeleteThis was wonderful! I love how you did every other one! You were a beautiful bride. Melanie and your son are a gorgeous couple and Melanie the girls in the wedding party look like models. Beautiful photos...thank you for sharing!

Hi Barb,

Wonderful pictures what a wonderful wedding party. Thank you for sharing.Hope you can get the time to drop by and visit. Debbie
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the comparisons. Even though things are different, they are still pretty much the same.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures..Thank you for sharing your heartfelt treasures..
ReplyDeleteLove the thought and time you took in presenting the THEN and NOW comparisons of weddings! Your wedding and mine was very similar. Even the church pews look identical! I wore a similar bridesmaid's gown in my friend's wedding with the sheer butterfly overlay, only mine was in peach. You were such a beautiful bride and I so love your headress and veil and gown. Your hubby had as wicked a moustache as mine did lambchop sideburns ~ they had it goin' on, didn't they?!? :0)
ReplyDeleteYour cake was stunning! Your son and his lovely bride look gorgeous and so very happy, too. My favorite pic is the one of you two from inside the car!
Thanks so much for joining in the WEDDING BLOG PARTY! It is such fun seeing what everyone is sharing!
Big Hugs,

ReplyDeleteI remember your wedding like it was yesterday! It was a lovely affair and I was glad I was a part of it! Thanks for the memories. You did a great job showing your wedding off as well as your sons! Hugs Anne
ReplyDeleteWhat a super fun post! Loved seeing the contrasting pics. You were certainly a happy lovely bride.

That was so cute! I have to fess up, I giggled at those groovy 70's tuxedo's a little bit:) Times sure have changed but both you and your daughter in law were beautiful brides:)
ReplyDeletelove the pictures!!!!!! What beautiful weddings they were!!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing the similarity and the contrast. Plus the other thing I see is how the quality of the pictures changed. Nice pictures.

I love how you did the "then and now" to show how styles have changed AND boy have they changed! I was married in 1971, so mine are similar to yours.
ReplyDeleteThose background shots in your son's wedding photos are stunning! I swear if I ever get married again it will be as the sunsets on the beach — just for the photos!
