I am so excited to showcase my
Wedding!
Oh, it was held over 44 years ago. . .
And yes, everything is vintage.
December 9, 1966
I married the love of my life
The day was gorgeous and the evening delightful and enchanting.
The day before it had snowed,
So it looked like a Winter-Wonderland
Because it was in December my colors were Red and White.
My Bridesmaids wore red brocaded satin dresses. . .
The bouquets were all white flowers, with tiny red accents.
My wedding dress has very simple lines.
Just like the 1966 brides all wore.
My dear sweet Aunt made the dress.
I still have it. . . .
(no I can't fit into it)
A very precious memento of our wedding is
The Cake Topper
After nearly 45 years I still have my cake topper.
It is very vintage.
It sits in the protection of my curio in my living room
My grandchildren love to look at it.
On our One Year Anniversary my husband gave me
This beautiful strand of pearls. . . .
I was so thrilled. . . he told me I was his precious pearl. .
The pearl has become the symbol of our love!
My husband and I only had 25 years together.
He died at a young age.
I have missed him so much. . . .my life has never been the same.
But, because I know that
Families are Forever
I know that Someday
My Husband and I
Will Be Together Again
I am joining Angelic Accents for her
Be sure to visit this sweet blog party. . .
Your cake topper and pearls are beautiful mementos of your love for your husband. Although far too short, I know you treasure the years you had together. I'm glad you shared this.

Love your wedding pics. It sounds like you had truly found the "one" meant for you. I feel the same and I'm blessed to still be with him 35 years later.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at my post and scroll down to Linda Johnson Robb. Your dress and her's looks so much alike!
So sorry that you only got to spend 25 years with your love. Your wedding was beautiful even if it was that many years ago. Sweet memories!
ReplyDeleteLOVE all of the bridal things from the 60's and your dress is a treasure -- especially since it was made for YOU by your aunt! The cake topper is priceless -- just love it! What a beautiful, although too short time you enjoyed with your love. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us.

Dear Karie, what a handsome couple you and your dear husband were on your special wedding day! Love your gown and am so glad you still have it! Better hide that gorgeous cake topper if I ever come visit! :0) I'm so sorry you lost your love at such a young age, but I know you have such a wonderful attitude about your future and forever life together! Thanks sooo much for sharing your lovely wedding photos and your sweet memories and your heart with us all.
