Wouldn't change a thing. My sister on the left is a ralented seamstress and made my outfit. 1963. What a ride so far.

I loved my dress and I love my DH!  Wish I could still fit into the lovely, long sleeved, high neck, billowing chiffon lace creation purchased for $500.00 at a department store 36 years ago.  Maybe I will aim for that for our 50th anniversary!

I would have skipped the dress and put on my running shoes instead and ran for the hills!!!!

You and your sister were very pretty! I really like the gloves!

@ECBG this is my wedding dress

I was married in 1984 and I loved my very simple raw silk gown and elaborate large brim hat and long veil.  The outfit cost $330 and, from photos, looks great (especially considering the over the top designs of that decade).  DH is sometimes trying but we both would still choose one another.

Most definitely! We just celebrated our anniversary Friday, so we were married in July on a bright, hot summer day!

I wore a simple white eyelet gown with cap sleeves and a small train. My friends all wore yards of lace, usually longer sleeves. One of my good friends was married the May before us. She wore long sleeves with a long train and a long veil. She looked beautiful of course, but we all knew she was feeling the heat! 

I know we all heard this with the bridesmaid's dresses we wore - "You can cut it down later and wear it as a regular dress." I probably could have with two of mine. But even though I never did, I could have had my bridal gown shortened and worn it as a summer eyelet dress. I never did that either!

Yes. My sil made my gown. I think I paid $70 for the fabric in 1979. Still happily married and almost 41 years later. The elbow length collar was lace, the a-line dress was satin and at the bottom there was a very deep ruffle with lace over satin. It was off-white.

I had a 20.00 dress from the Alden's catalog and a borrowed veil.
