Forty Years Ago Today
Was My Wedding Day
1970 was a much simpler time with the reception being held in the church basement with cake, punch,nuts and mints!
Our colors were yellow and orange
Funny, now those colors are back in!
Mr. Brown Socks and I were married on my parents’
Twenty Fifth Anniversary
Here is their wedding picture
Dad always joked that he finished with one war only to start another..his marriage! LOL! He and my mother were very good together. We all still remember the 40th anniversary party we had for them.
If you read my blog you will know that God has richly blessed us with a fabulous family. Last weekend our daughters with much help from our son in law and many other people threw us a
SURPRISE
Anniversary Party!
Boy were we EVER surprised.
Our girls thought of everything. They had my gown displayed on a mannequin and the maid of honor dress was behind. The only thing that wasn’t on display was a bridesmaids dress. They were yellow. We also had floppy hats with daisy trim. Can you see the daisy trim on the dress? Yep, seventies!
I was too busy having fun at my party and didn’t get many pictures of the actual decorations, but daughters Three had the most gorgeous flowers for decorations. This large bouquet stole the show but there were also little petite roses which were…Yep! yellow with orange edges.
Happy Anniversary Mr. Brown Socks
And may we enjoy many more years together!
