This was taken 29 years ago on our wedding day. We had a late afternoon outdoor ceremony and a cocktail party style reception on the patio of a restaurant.
When we finally remembered to cut the cake it was getting dark! It was a small, inexpensive wedding with no wedding planner to keep things on schedule. My mom made my dress, a neighbor made the cake, my sister's friend was the photographer. I asked for no chrysanthemums in my bouquet - as you can see my request was not honored!! No Pinterest fantasies in sight - but it took!

I've always felt that lavish, garish weddings are ridiculous and certainly no guarantee of a good marriage. (No offense to anyone who truly wants one, though) Your mom made you a perfect dress--you look so beautiful and happy. Happy anniversary to you both, Susan!
Lovely photo.
I intensely dislike lavish weddings and the seemingly-perfect (and totally cookie cutter) Pinterest weddings we're seeing these days seem too obsessed with the little details surrounding one day, rather than focusing on the marriage to come.
Congratulations! I had a simple wedding too, and it's lasted 30 years so far.
Simple is good! You looked so happy on your wedding day.
I think you might be the only one who managed a TWT this week. I've been swamped at work and at home.
Even though my daughter's wedding had lots of bells and whistles, in the end it is the simplest things--the vows--that make a marriage.
Look at brunette you!! I was thrilled with my wedding bouquet flowers ... too bad they were wrapped with a very tacky ribbon.
