Wedding Dresses

Having spotted the 'What was your wedding dress like?' thread, I thought I'd post a picture of my fifteen year old DGD wearing mine. It has yellowed with age but we were thrilled with how beautifully she shows it off even though it's two sizes too big!! It looks completely different on her - farm more 'hippy' than my 'sixties' look with short hair and pillbox cap (which hasn't survived)

Oh to be a size 10 again. (sigh emoticon)

lovely brides here!

These are a couple of ours from October 1970. These are the proofs so ignore the scrawl!

My dress from 1975 my mum made it.
DD "modelled" it 2011 when she came over for a fitting of hers.

This dress was ironed properly before I wore it.

Quite hippyish! "And maids come forth sprig muslin dressed."

Kiora, thanks for kind comment. I was 22 years old.

mrsmopp Fri 27-Jun-14 14:29:52

Still together after 48 years. Still happy. Very lucky....

P.S. December 1973

I had a Rumak & Sample dress: creamy white silk with panels of organza sprinkled with silver 'blobs' and because it was snowing my Mum made me wear one of her vests underneath so that sorted out the something borrowed! We were married for 38 years and 2 months.

Kiora Fri 27-Jun-14 13:38:45

Lovely mrs mopp you look so very happy.......and young!

This is my wedding photo from March 1967. Unfortunately we divorced prior to retirement - I couldn't bear the thought of being home all day together!

harrigran Thu 26-Jun-14 23:56:15

I have reported myself to HQ to remove the excess, don't know what happened. Definitely only got married once grin

annodomini Thu 26-Jun-14 23:11:42

I got rid of any that included XH, but kept most of the others. I haven't scanned them though.

Lona Thu 26-Jun-14 23:08:01

I set fire to the photos!

Lona Thu 26-Jun-14 23:07:16

harri I think it's illegal to get married so many times in the same year! grin

I got married that same month and year too.
