Look at the tux....that definitely dates the shot much more than the bridal gown.

That's what I was thinking. I think it's the same style of vest my dad wore at his and mom's wedding in 1976.

No photo's, but I celebrated my 21st anniversary today.  Whew, where does the time go?  My first son is graduating this year.

Man...... I'm beginning to feel old!

Patty, I love your pictures...you all look so much in love.

Just think in 20 years all these young brides will look back on their pics and say OMG...what was I thinking?

And then I can tell them the same thing I've been saying...you were absloutely beautiful on your special day and the dress you wore will always be a very special part of that wonderful day...it's the one you wore to marry the man of your dreams.

I was just married last September.  Here are mine:

here goes...  - married twice - sharing the first pic for the poofy sleeve era, showing the 2nd one because it matters most! 
This was June 9 - 1984 -

and the one that matters most
July - 2002 - good grief - was that '80's hair?????  in '02????

Thanks pattyg! Things have really changed, though. I remember going to one store and trying on one dress and buying it right there on the spot. With Heather we shopped several times, and she tried on at least 100 dresses and then had to special order and have alterations.... but I wasn't quite as "picky" as she is! *LOL*

And mowgli111 - yours are BEAUTIFUL! I love the car in the background. What is it?

I guess mine were more "PJ" before that was really in style (sounds better than snapshots, anyway...LOL).  A very sweet family friend shot ours (both the wedding and engagement shot for the newspaper) as our gift.  We probably wouldn't have had anything, otherwise.  First one is our engagement picture - May, 1988 (I'm sure I wouldn't have had to tell you it was the 80's once you saw the hair and "Brooke Shields" eyebrows):

And some wedding shots, these two during the ceremony on June 24, 1988:

And the reception, immediately after.  Notice that we wasted no time getting a headstart on what would become our "figures" today...LOL (and now you know why I'm almost unrecognizable - for those of you that have met me)  :

Strike a pose?  (I have no idea .....)

The garter shot :

I wonder why film prints scan SO dark?  The originals are old, granted, but definitely not this dark.

Thanks ArtisticImages,

The car is a 1939 Oldsmobile.  It had suicide doors, and we rode in it from the wedding, then to a park for pictures.  It was so fun!

Michell, I've met you and believe me...your beauty is all still there, so it's very easy to recognize you, no matter what you're wearing.

Michell, if you notice, I also have thick "Brooke" eyebrows in my picture too! lol!! No one plucked in the 80's...

and Kathy, you did not have 80's hair in that picture!! lol!

I love these pictures (Debi, you're so pretty)...this thread is just way too much fun (thanks Mary Ann and I love your last picture...you both look so happy).  You all keep em coming..I know there are some more married Mpixer's out there, so where are your pictures? 

And ladies if I haven't told each of you how pretty you are...I'm telling you now..each one of you is just gorgeous.

I just got home from a week in sunny Coronado, California (San Diego) and have been trying to catch up on the forums!  I saw this thread and thought it was so cool! 

Here is my contribution!  This was in 1988.  This was the first dress I tried on and absolutely fell in love with it--it was my dream dress!  I just didn't have enough money to get it, but my mom saw it and told me I had to have it!  We made payments on it for almost a year!  I got married in a castle, so had to have a princess dress!  It wasn't in "fashion" to wear a tiara or I would have worn one!!  I loved how it looked from the back!
