Post formal (wedding or not) photos here.

[applegrove]

My mom & dad:

[newcriminal]

1. Your Mother is really beautiful.

[applegrove]

9. Yup. White velvet wedding dress she borrowed from a friend. We hear it was turned into

a chaircover.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear applegrove!

What a beautiful picture...

Your parents are simply gorgeous!

Here's my husband and me on our wedding day, 44 years ago! To the left is his brother, and to the right is my Matron of Honor, and our Unitarian Minister!

We were just babies!

[Sanity Claws]

4. Knee length dress!

You were a radical!
I'm joking. How common were knee length wedding dresses in the mid-60s?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear Sanity Claws!

Yup, a knee length dress. I was going to wear it as a party dress or some such, afterward, lol!

I have no idea how common they were. I suspect not very. Most weddings back then were formal, la di da, don't you know!

[tigereye]

92. my mom wore a knee-length one in 1958 - I think it was even more rad then

I was married by a Unitarian minster, as well. :thumbsup:

[applegrove]

6. I love your dresses. And your pillbox hats. You are right you do look like kids. Gorgeous kids but

kids nevertheless. Hey I'm a unitarian too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Yeah, we were kids!

I was 21...

My hat wasn't actually a pillbox hat. It was more a band, covered with fabric from the left-over dress material, with little fake pearls stitched by yours truly along the top edge, and the veil underneath.

My dress was made by a very close friend of my mom's...

My Matron made her dress too...

We had so much fun!

We even wrote our own service...

[handmade34]

19. CaliforniaPeggy - your picture is delightful!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear handmade34!

I thank you!

We had no professional photographers, so probably my dad took this!

:hi:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

23. Looking sharp, Peggy!!

You wore your glasses too!! How cool is that?? I'm incredibly nearsighted and I never see brides wearing glasses in their pictures. You probably can't navigate without yours either. Beautiful couple! I'm a secular humanist UU as well.

The clothes in the sixties were so sharp, so streamlined.

:toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear Manifestor_of_Light!

I always wear my glasses, wedding day or otherwise, lol! I can actually navigate without them, but it's a lot easier with them on!

Thank you for your compliments!

Yeah, the clothes were more streamlined, and so was I!

:toast:

[mcctatas]

3. oh man....

senior prom :rofl:

[applegrove]

7. Let me guess. 1980s? I like your date. He is cute.

[mcctatas]

10. 1989 to be exact

as for the hair, ever see them movie Groundhog Day? My hair is kinda like that, I can get a completely new cut and style but then I go to bed and the next day it has reverted back to my 1980's do!

[Sanity Claws]

5. Your father is admiring your mother's beauty.

They look like a happy couple.

[applegrove]

8. That's not even the best picture of her.

[PassingFair]

13. My favorite wedding picture...

No, I never wore the dress again, but
my sister, who was my maid of honor,
wore hers OUT at MANY Renaissance Festivals....

[handmade34]

17. I vote this #1 - Best of Show

[PassingFair]

37. Huh?

There was no RIBBON ON IT!

:evilgrin:

[handmade34]

41. ...

[PassingFair]

43. LOL

"I dinna ken where I've been, but
I must've won first place!"

[whistler162]

73. Going to steal a copy to show a coworker

whose son is planning on being married in full regalia, not surprising since he is a piper of no ill repute. His bride-to-be probably won't be as fancifully dressed as you.

[bluesbassman]

14. My cousin's wedding.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Been waiting for an opportunity to use that pic. :rofl:

[Bertha Venation]

28. That picture is such a fake!

No way would a couple who looks like that have lace curtains.

[bluesbassman]

48. Yeah I know.

Should of been a Bluetick Coonhound too. Rotties don't hunt. :rofl:

[Aristus]

15. My wedding day. This is one of my favorite pics of Mrs. Aristus. She's so sexy!...

[crim son]

60. This is the sweetest pic.

You both look so happy. What makes it sweeter is I know you are still happy. Glad for you, Mr. & Mrs. Aristus!

[intheflow]

16. My son's wedding, 6/7/09, I was the photographer:

My lovely new DIL:




My son and his new bride. I've never seen him look happier!

[handmade34]

21. Congratulations (and great pictures)

[handmade34]

18. my youngest son's junior prom

I have posted this before and shamelessly do it again...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear handmade34!

Oh, what a great looking young man, and I love how cute his date is!

I'd be posting it too, if I'd had a son that good looking!

:hi:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

25. My mother's parents, shortly after marriage in 1919.

Grandma was born in 1898 and they BOTH had Master's Degrees from Mississippi A&M!
Pretty unusual for that time. They were overachievers - County Extension Agents with Texas A&M.
Grandma died in 1985. I live in her house now.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

31. Thank you

I was so scared!

[MineralMan]

29. My wife and I -- wedding photo

[whistler162]

72. Cute but whose the guy with the beard?

;-)

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. Here are some that

I posted earlier this month of me and my guys: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=8900920

Here's my parents, brother and me: (not formal, but we never had one done)

[latebloomer]

40. Your parents were hippies!

[GreenPartyVoter]

46. Mom was. Dad was actually a Goldwater conservative, then became an

Independent, and now is a Green. :D

[buzzard]

47. Mom and Dad, still in love today.

<a href="" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

[PassingFair]

49. Ahhhh when was that? 56 ish?

The bridesmaids at my parent's wedding
wore similar dresses....

[seemunkee]

32. My mom and dad

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

34. I love her dress

and how it fans out in a circle.

[Shell Beau]

33. My wedding

[azmouse]

38. I can see your daughter looking just that pretty in 20 years!

:)

[Shell Beau]

50. Aw thanks!

:pals:

[DeepBlueC]

54. wow..you look beautiful

and what a spectacular dress! :)

[Shell Beau]

62. Thanks!!

The dress was ivory! I was being honest! ;)

[DeepBlueC]

64. well honesty is the best policy, they say

But I have rarely seen it look so good! :hi:

[auntAgonist]

69. Shell, those photos are beautiful. You looked stunning

on your wedding day :)

:hug:

Do you still have that dress? Bella might wear it.

aA
kesha

[Shell Beau]

82. Why thank you! I do still have the dress.

Looking back, I would have done a totally different veil though. I will keep all of it just in case my little booger wants to be sentimental and wear it! :)

[NewJeffCT]

89. great pictures

thanks for posting them. You were quite a lovely bride.

[Shell Beau]

91. Thanks! Your wife was quite the lovely bride as well!

:)

[NewJeffCT]

93. She thinks she looks evil in the pic

So, I tell her the camera doesn't lie!

[Shell Beau]

94. Haha! She looks beautiful!

Maybe beautifully evil! :P

[NewJeffCT]

95. once, when my daughter was 2-something

or maybe it was 3, but I would always say nice things about mommy to my daughter. Like Mommy is beautiful or smart or similar.

So, one day, when there were several people there, I asked her, "What kind of lady is mommy?" and I expected her to say, "pretty" or "beautiful" or "smart" or similar.

Her response was, "A dragon Lady!"

I still have no idea where she got it from, either, unless it was from a friend of the family when I wasn't around? Or, maybe a movie or something.

[Shell Beau]

96. Kids know when to say the wrong thing at the wrong time!

I am just waiting for my baby's time to come. My daddy always told me tha no one will embarrass you as much as your kiddos! I believe it too.

[Adsos Letter]

35. Our oldest daughter's wedding.

[nini]

67. I love that cameo

my grandma has those on in many of her pictures too.

cool picture.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

79. Thanx!

At least the grand-units look like they have good sense.

[NewJeffCT]

90. great picture

and, it must have been really unusual for a woman to have a master's degree in those days.

[Tikki]

39. Here we are...

Mr. Tikki and I...


That was 42 years ago, this August (Summer of Love, you all).

We were just kidlettes...

The Tikkis

[704wipes]

76. gotta love the way the draperies and carpet go together?

doncha' think?

[auntAgonist]

42. my aunt and uncle.

She died when I was an infant. I don't know how old they are in this photo or what year it was taken. I think probably in the early 1940's ?

[PassingFair]

44. Looks older than that, Aunt....

More like 20's or early 30's

[auntAgonist]

45. You're probably right. She is older than my Father by

many years. He (Father) was born in 1925, so, she could have been married in the early 30's.

I must see if I can get my Dad to remember next time I talk to him.

[auntAgonist]

80. October 28th 1932 You were right, Passing Fair.

[Shell Beau]

51. I love that veil! That is a great photo!

[MissHoneychurch]

52. My grandparents wedding in the 1940s

[lizziegrace]

58. The Greek Mafia

My great-aunt's wedding in the early 30's.

[DeepBlueC]

65. some classic 'staches in that pic

quite a variety of styles.

[Sanity Claws]

71. Interesting photo

Look at the middle aged men with their arms on the newly married couple. They seem to be the two fathers, keeping the two young ones in their place. I can't figure out who the mothers are. Interesting how in that culture, the mothers play such an unimportant role in the wedding.

[lizziegrace]

81. The man in the white shirt is my Papoo

(great-grandfather) and the bride is his daughter, Katherine. Yaya is next to him in the dark dress. My grandfather (their only son) looks exactly like his mother and is 3rd from the right. Spooky huh??

[crim son]

59. This thread is full of beautiful people!

This isn't a good pic but it's the only wedding-related one on photobucket at this time. I think I knew what was coming...(the caption for the photo is "monkeybait" wtf?)



edited for typo.

Wedding Day Portrait 1904:




50th Anniversary:



They were farmers.
My grandfather was a huge FDR man and a township trustee from mid 1920's to 1940 or so...
On election nights he helped count votes and never came home until noon the following day.
Grandmother never voted, even after suffrage...

88. Here is one from my 3rd marriage to Mrs NewJeffCT

We had a wedding in Nov of 2001, but since her parents were not able to make it to the US from China, we had a wedding ceremony in June of 2002. Then, we had another little wedding thingie in China in September of 2004 with the rest of my wife's family. And, no, I did NOT pick the jacket.
