HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME! (AND TO LUCKY HIM)

She wore flowers in her hair-
Yes she did!

46 years of marriage started here-
on the riverbank in Alva, Florida.
Whoop-de-doo
When did I get wrinkles and
when did his hair disappear?
sigh

Not such great pictures.
We lost most of our pictures 
during a move.

As you can see-
The bride wore a Gunne Sax gown
and the groom wore a
BLUE LEISURE SUIT!
LOL


Then, we had to re-marry a few years later
IN A CHURCH
just to make everyone happy!

And where are those pictures?
Yeah- I am wondering that, too! 

Hope you all have a wonderful day.
I am planning on doing the same!

    Happy Anniversary dear Diana, you were so beautiful then even as your are now. I just celebrated 43 years and you haven’t aged at all, while I have! I loved Gunne Sax dresses, has several. Hubby wore a leisure suit for his going away clothes. So sorry you lost your photos! Such memories you have though. May you both be blessed with many more years together.
    Hugs,

    I love these photos! I owned two Gunne Sax dresses and now realize what sacrifices my mom must have made to get those for me. Bob wore a leisure suit as his going away outfit. It was blue. He had a beige one too and a soft sage green one. The memories! Happy anniversary!

    Hello Diana....Can you believe how fast time has gone?! When you look at pictures from days like your wedding, do you feel as "mature" as we are? lol.
    I don't feel retirement age...most of the time, until I try to get up out of my kayak! I see pictures of me, and my girls, and I wonder if other people see me as old. We just celebrated my youngest daughter's 40th birthday, and it hasn't sunk in yet. Ya know? the part about being this old???? I look at you, and Kris, and I see beautiful, classy broads that are ageless! As long as I wear turtlenecks and long sleeves, and jeans....I think I can pass for less old. Well, now that I have reminded you of just how old we are....have a wonderful day. xxoo Seriously....you are a beauty!!!

    Diana, Happy belated Anniversary to you and hubby. You look so beautiful. I love the Gunny-Sax, I think my time was even before Gunny Sax was a thing. At least you weren't in black (like I was) don't know what my mother was thinking! And my hubby's leisure suit didn't come until we were married a few years and it was tan but otherwise the same..Happy Tuesday..xxoJudy

    Happy Anniversary. What a darling couple. I remember making my daughters gunny sack dresses.

    My son helped me take down a bin in our storage unit of old pictues...what a shock to see me and Don 60 yeara ago. But we love our men now more than we could have imaged when we said I do. That's probably true for you too, and we have a life time of experiences with them.

    Thanks for sharing...loved it.
