The Wedding Thread!

[ldg]

So many people love Wedding Pics - and in the Pictures! Pictures! thread I suggested someone start one. I figured it shouldn't be me, because we got married in VERY casual clothes in a small ceremony with no family or friends present (probably why we're so happy in the pics! - no stress!).

Teresa said I should include my pics anyway - so here I go. I'm starting the thread!

POST YOUR WEDDING PICS HERE!

During the ceremony (July 26, 1994):

...and our equivalent of the "after the ceremony" picture:

We got married in Dawson Creek, BC (Canada) - otherwise known as Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway.

We'd both quit our jobs and bought the RV. We headed from NY to Seattle - then headed North. The Alaska Highway actually starts North of Prince George. We knew we wanted to get married on the 26th of July - we just drove until it was a few days a way, and that's where we got married!

We went to the local camping/gear store to get fishing licenses. We asked about marriage licenses (which took all of 15 minutes to get) - and the gentleman helping us asked if we had anyone to take pics. We hadn't even thought about it! He and his wife were starting a photo shop, so we were there first wedding portfolio! Sorry it was casual (for them), but they took great photos of the whole thing. And good thing they were there - we needed two witnesses to sign the certificates - and we hadn't thought of that either!

AWWWW! You two are adorable! Everyone should look so happy and relaxed on their wedding day.

We also got married without relatives and just in normal clothes, was so much fun, we weren't relaxed though, I was a nervous wreck

...picture...mmm...don't think so.

All my wedding pics from my second wedding are black and white. I do love the atmosphere of b/w photography.

I might see if I can get one scanned by a friend, they are lovely (quite informal) and I couldn't afford the big album either, I've just got a small but fat album of 5 x 7s (included in the photographer's rates) and most of the REALLY good ones are now framed and in our 'family' rogues gallery in the hallway (about 50 mainly old family pics all higglety pigglety along our entrance hall.

I just love looking at everyone's piccies, it's so nice to see what everyone looks like.

Laurie your wedding pics are just charming. So happy and natural.

aw.... c'mon guys! Get them scanned - NO EXCUSES! I'm alone here now! ( ...and we have a bunch of black & whites too - I love them.)

If anyone needs help resizing photos, you can e-mail them to me and I'll help. Just PM me, and I'll send my e-mail address!

You look so different on this picture to the other pics I've seen of you here.

Real glamour puss too!

Are those ringlets I see before me?

 

[yola]

I KNOW!!!

Sammy from Brookside!

Here's one of my wedding pictures, we were married by a Justice of the Peace in front of a few relatives and I was a nervous wreck! The dress I wore on my wedding day is a dark green velvet dress and it's also the same dress I wore when I was the Maid of Honor at my sister's wedding a couple of years earlier.

Rhea, you and your husband both look absolutely radient!!!

 

[sydney the kid]

No wedding pics here too . We are married since 23 years , and we both looked so different then ....

 

[lorie d.]

One more...

 

[ldg]

Lorie - you guys look SO happy!!!!! And while you look a little nervous in the first one (biting your lip!), you look the picture of a beautiful blushing bride!

Rhea - you do look so glamourous! We'd love to see the whole dress (especially since I never wore a "Wedding Dress") - but from what we can see, it looks beautiful, just as you do!

BTW - I wonder if we should include years here? I'll go back and edit my post.

I was just about to post about Lorie's lovely pictures when my internet connection failed and the machine crashed!

Anyway, I think Lorie looks so sweet and divine - Lorie, either your are petite as can be, or your husband is very tall.

I'm jealous, being nearly five foot eight, I've always wanted to be petite and teeny.

Everyone looks great in their wedding pictures!! And I thought I was the only one who got married by a justice of the peace and didn't have a wedding ceremony and all that fancy stuff. I guess I was wrong. I have pictures of our wedding day, but I don't know how to hook up my scanner.

I'll have to see if I can get it hooked up this weekend.

 

[lorie d.]

Yola, you're right about both things. I'm only 5 feet 2 inches and I happened to marry someone who is quite tall. Fortunately for my son, he is tall like his father. I always think it must be harder for a man to be short than it is for us.

Spooky, maybe your husband can help you hook up your scanner. We'd love to see your wedding pictures.

 

[yola]

I had a registry office wedding (second time around). The first one was all very fancy and in a church - but looking back, was now a bit of a charade, and stupidly expensive (late 80s let's do it for show kind of thing). AND the marriage didn't work out!

It doesn't matter if you get married in a field or a cathedral your wedding and your love is still the most important thing.

As you get older you kind of realise that, and the show wasn't important at all the second time.

 

[bodlover]

Thankyou for the compliments

Lorie you two look gorgeous in your wedding pics!

And yes I think putting the year in is a good idea, I'll go back and add it to my post too!!

Spooky - you MUST show us your wedding pics, I've seen a pic of you before so I KNOW how gorgeous you are!!
And everyone else - SHOW US YOUR PICS!!

And Laurie, I'll see if I can scan in a pics of the whole dress sometime soon...

As for the height thing, I'm 5'7" and Hubby is 6'2" so with my heels on, we look about right!
