I guess I missed out but here's my photo. Dh and I were married 9 years ago, January 17, 2004. Here's a photo of me that I could find on my work computer.

VERY fun!!

Shevia, that's hilarious. Granny looks as fab as you do

Jamie, so pretty and chic! Just like you are now!

Christy,, Teri and Hil, princess-like and classic

Sveta and Deb, gorgeously retro!

Ingunn and Naz, so regal!

Krista, very fun!

Hope you all had a fab Valentine's Day. We stayed at home with Rosie and had homemade chicken noodle soup.

Gorgeous photos ladies. I thought I would join the party. Hubby & I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary last week. Showed these photos to my grandson & he said " Nanny is that you when you were a princess?" Of course I said yes.

So here are some wedding shots circa 1992.

Am I late?

This reminds me I ***have to*** finally digitalize my wedding photos...

The first thing I bought were the shoes, I fell in love them the moment I saw them and they were as comfortable as they were beautiful.

My dress was very simple, sort of inverted lilly calla. They were my wedding flowers, tied by the purple ribbon. The dress was made of heavy satin after only one fitting - the seamstress took my measurements in December and I was back to try it on for the first time about 10 days before the day, 5 months later.

My only jewelry was the pearl necklace I got as a gift from my MIL. Traditionally, back home brides are given golden jewelry on their wedding day, but I'm not into gold too much and have only one golden necklace I love wearing, so I asked for an exception and everyone was happy.

Mr. O had a suit purple embodied waistcoat with the morning suit.

We wanted a small and simple wedding with the closest people in our lives and did everything low-key, but there were numerous details that made the day very special and even today some of our friends say "ah, *your* wedding was so great"

We made our own invitations and our favorite poet's verse on the cover... 3 years later I had met the man himself at the evening recital to which I brought one invitation and he had signed it for us... Last summer, when we were moving the framed invitation was not packed with our other stuff, but on our last night in our old house I noticed it still hanging on the wall, so it travelled to it's new destination by car with us.

Everyone of you was so beautiful on your wedding day! What a privilege it was to have a glimpse of these momentous occasions. We married in 1999 with just our immediate families in our backyard, super simple, but lovely. And I wore a black and white dress. I will see if I can get my scanner working to share a photo.

Ahhh...Mystery solved! Angie, I've wondered what you might be saying the first time I saw this photo. Lovely dress.

So fun seeing everyone on such a special day!

I'm just loving this thread.

Late to the party, but here's my dress. I had to scan in a few pictures (and crop and photoshop them!) since we got married in the pre-digital era. I might not leave the pics up for long, but I have SO enjoyed looking at everyone's wedding style, so I wanted to join in!

The square neckline did nothing to diminish the appearance of my square shoulders, but I liked it anyway. I wanted to look like Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. Our wedding was super fun, and even though I probably wouldn't choose the same dress today, just seeing that dress now makes me smile, because it reminds me of that happy day.

I LOVED seeing all the beautiful pics here!
Dragged out the Wedding album and picked this black and white photo taken at the Church doors.

Lyn, isn't it great? How many of us had reached for the albums from that day...

Lyn, I love the kissing photos! I was going to scan one of mine, but I wasn't sure my husband would want to appear in a public photo.

Ornella and Elisabeth- yes I think we kissed more on that day than the in the 21yrs since!
Bring on more romance, I say- and thanks so much Angie for reminding us to cherish the really good things in our lives.

We had a very small city hall wedding, then in the evening a more traditional more formal reception for about 100 people. Since there were 2 separate locations I had 2 dresses. (And just because I wanted to) this was 1989.

Late to this thread and the pictures are cell phone pictures of the 1985 originals, so not good at all.

I want a do over! I'm so embarrassed about "the hat". Do over only pertains to the hat though - the groom would be the same in a heart beat! My original dress plan was something very simple but none really worked until I ran across this "beauty". I know it's almost Princess Diana-ish on top, but it was one of those situations (back in the olden 1985 style days) where I put this dress on and it was "it". Also very inexpensive relative to the others.

Rain storms all morning the day of the wedding then blue skies and sun in time for the ceremony! I'm quite certain I have a shot somewhere similar to Angie's flowers but with birdseed instead.

I'm late to the party, too, but I thought I'd add mine anyway.

My dress is nothing like what I had envisioned, but I went shopping in two countries and this was the first one I found that fit and looked halfway decent -- all of the other plus-size gowns I found had these horrible frumpy short sleeves. Mom made the veil for me. There was supposed to be a slip with hoops in it to make the skirt poof out a bit but I didn't find out until I started getting dressed that when I ordered it in a custom size to fit my waist, all they did was make the elastic longer -- they didn't change the size of the whole slip, so it didn't fit around my hips!

It was rainy and cold on the day, even though it was mid-June, and I kind of wished I had a shawl or a jacket -- the church is in the village where my husband grew up, built in the 1600s, with no heating!

At the time of the wedding I was preoccupied with my PhD so I didn't actually care very much about the details. I felt a bit like a human marshmallow, thought my hair looked awful (my fancy hairdo fell down as soon as I left the beauty salon because of the humidity), and in retrospect I wish that I hadn't let my sister convince me to wear the silly tiara. But DH thought I looked beautiful and that's all that matters.

I know I'm almost a week behind here, but I so enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful pictures!

I was a little over six months (25 weeks, actually) pregnant with twins when I got married this time (Feb 2011). I wanted to wait, but my now-husband was insistent that we get married before the babies came. I suggested a quiet city hall type of thing but this was his first (and hopefully last) wedding and *he* wanted a real church wedding. We ended up pulling off a really lovely wedding with musicians & professional singers (who sang Ave Maria just before I walked down the aisle), a really nice reception and about 100 guests, all planned in 6 weeks!

When I went shopping for a dress I decided I was not going to try to disguise my pregnancy. Everyone coming knew darn good and well that I was expecting twins and sooner rather than later. In the end though, I found a beautiful dress that fit almost perfectly with no alterations. I still had a very small waist, and this dress came in tight at the waist and then fell in an A-line. I felt so pretty! I did my own hair (with help from my neice) in my bombshell-style retro do.

The problem I had was that my usually very large chest had swelled to truly gigantic proportions. Even at the specialty bra shop they did not have a strapless that could work. I had to just trust that pulling the strings very tightly in the back would keep things g-rated. It worked at first, but as the day went on I had a harder and harder time keeping the dress up! I cringe at some of the pictures. Yikes!

I'm wearing a pearl necklace I inherited from my grandmother and some diamond & sapphire earrings that had been a gift many moons ago.

This was my 3rd marriage but my first real wedding. It was wonderful!

I've enjoyed looking at this thread several times in the past days. Here is my photo. We were married in 1976. The dress was off the clearance rack in a dept. store. Mom had to take it in by a few inches since I only weighed 115 lb. and probably a few less by wedding day. I always hated that it was too short, but hey, we were homemade and thrift store dressers, and I only paid $65 and had free alterations.

Now I don't know where it is - long gone. I think it was lost between parents' moves as it was always at their house. Or knowing Mom, she remade it or donated it to the local theater costume department, where she made costumes for years. I'm not very sentimental, so that never bothered me.
