Seeing as the hubster and I are celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary this week, I thought I’d share a few of our favourite wedding memories. (To catch up on my earlier posts, about our wedding disasters and the story of our wedding night, just click on the links).
The Dress
I felt like a fairytale princess in my fishtail wedding gown with train, which showed off my slender figure. Not much hope I’d fit it these days 
Ever the bargain hunter, I bought it second hand for a third of the original cost. In true 80’s style (even though it was 1990), there is more lace, beading, sequins, pearls, crystals and satin than you can poke a stick at! The tiara and veil were first worn by my sister two years before, and the start of our own family tradition; it was worn by our youngest sister when she got married, ten years after me. (Who knows, perhaps my nieces or Miss 17 might wear them at their weddings in years to come!)
My bridesmaids are wearing lipstick pink – almost red. I had my heart set on wine red (like a dark red rose) but of course wouldn’t you know it, couldn’t find fabric in that colour ANYWHERE in the lead up to our wedding.
Oh, and I feel old when I realise that little flower girl is now married with a little boy of her own!
2. Arriving at the Church
How handsome (and young!) does the hubster look – not quite 22 when we got married (so call me a cradle-snatcher – I was 23).
And how ecstatic do I look arriving at the church in the vintage car – and nervous and aware of the importance of the vows I’m about to make, in the picture where my bridesmaids are helping me with my veil!
3. Mr and Mrs
More precious memories … our first kiss as Mr and Mrs … cutting the cake (which I hated, but you can read about that in my Wedding Day Disasters post) … and with our bridal party.
4. A Candid Shot
Luckily the photographer caught this totally impromptu moment, of the hubster scooping me up in his arms. Just look at all the love on his face! I go weak at the knees even now, just looking at it.
5. Leaving our Reception
Hubster is trying to pop a balloon on the steering wheel, just in case you were wondering
How long have you been married? Have you shared any wedding photos on your blog – if so leave a link in the comments so I can check them out!
Linking up with Trish at My Little Drummer Boys for a Wordless Wednesday.
