Like a river flows surely to the sea

The wedding pictures are here. This one prompted me to rummage around and find ours from back in 1980. (Unlike most people we do not have them prominently displayed.)
The church is the same and the flowers were from the same florist, but our wedding was much smaller. An even smaller wedding was Mary and Newell’s wedding at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Savannah, Georgia in 1950.
Do you think he borrowed that blazer, or what? (I did a little internet sleuthing and verified the name of the church. Here’s an up-to-date picture of the church door–see?)
Here is a picture of my mother’s sister Donna’s more traditional wedding back home in Worcester, Massachusetts. I thought I had a picture of the wedding party with multiple bridesmaids (including my mother) and groomsmen, but (not surprisingly) I couldn’t find it.
Word is that we’ll get a CD with all 300-plus photos on it. Oh, the wonders of digital wedding photography!







I must say, the dresses don’t look dated at all! And I mean that.
I agree! The ladies all look beautiful. Though the gents are certainly handsome, their attire doesn’t stand the test of time so well. That’s some cravat on Paul!
I think we have my mother’s dress in a box somewhere. I could have worn it as a mother-of-the-groom dress! But it was probably worn out years ago by little girls playing dress-up. I know that’s what happened to her blue bridesmaid dress from Donna’s wedding.
I have the dress and it is ripped (or at least torn by the zipper). I don’t know if it could be repaired. I don’t think it would fit me, but it might fit you. Maybe at the next family wedding…
Yes we have the CD’s! I’ll bring them by soon so you can import all the photos onto your laptop. Then you’ll have EVERY. SINGLE. PICTURE. For ever and ever! π
