Today marks the 40th Wedding Anniversary - or Ruby Anniversary - of my wonderful parents. He wore a light blue suit with black lapels, finished with an awesome bow tie. She wore a dress that she made herself, finished with a Juliet veil. And don't they look a gorgeous, happy couple? My dad may have shorter hair today, and doesn't wear platform shoes anymore, but little else has changed - they remain as damn good-looking and loving a couple now as they were then.
Congratulations to my dearest Papa and Mama, and here's to them having many more happy years together.
Love their style! Made her own dress too! Lovely young long waves should be left flowing beneath the veil - not pulled into a formal and unrecognisable coiffure… I was pleased when I saw Kate Middleton's hair on her wedding day. What a darling you are to note your parents Ruby Day on your blog. Do I detect a tinge of ruby in this essentially black and white photo?
ReplyDeleteHa, I noticed the ruby tinge as well, but I assure you that it wasn't intentional. And I am forever impressed by my dearest mama making her wedding dress - a labour of love, literally...?
DeleteOh bless...love that wonderful photos! What a bit of treasure to cherish and thank you for sharing a story of true love....that is so sweet and has made my day. They look absolutely gorgeous and I wish them many many years more of happiness ahead!
