Pictures of my wedding...

Can you guess the year? LOL

My dress made me look huge!!! I picked it out in 10 minutes, first and only place I went with my mom. I had a $400 budget.. LOL!!

I made my veil.. and a lot of other things for the wedding. My mom made the bridesmaids dresses... plus crinolins to go under but the girls didnt wear them.. grrr.

Just came across these and thought they are funny every time I look at them. BOY.. how I would do things differently..

and look how BIG my boquet was.. LOL
I wish I had a pic of the cake around. It was like 4 tiers, with a fountain in the middle, side cakes with stairs going to the top layer.

OY!!!!! LOL


Have fun ;)
ps.. we were married when I was 19--- stayed married for 20 years.
Cant say I didnt try..LOL. Seperated last year, but have remained friends because we have 3 beautiful children.... so its ALL good! :)


A toast--- you can see my sister next to me.. 8 1/2 months pregnant.. she kept having contractions all night..LOL!!



Me and my bridesmaid


The gang.. you can see the 2 girls on the left.. they were my SIL's that DID NOT want to be there. They frowned most the time in all the pics. We got lucky with the one girl smiling in this one..LOL
I had 2 adorable flower girls.

wow! well if you were married 20 years then 1987 or 1986..!

ETA: you looked very pretty inspite of the poofyness

LOL.. aww. thanks!

So many things I did wrong .. goes to show.. when you are 19.. you dont always know best!! LOL
I didnt even have my hair done! I did all the decorating for the hall , ran back to the room got dressed, slapped on some makeup and got into the car. It was a Huge wedding too.. like 400 people. Yikes..LOL!!!


It was 1986... Good guess!

1986...wow, just goes to show how things change over the years!!!!!

You did look beautiful, but I just can't get over those sleeves on your dress!!!

Congrats to you for giving love and marriage a 2nd chance, as well as remaining friends with your ex for the sake of your children!!
