I like seeing older weddings that have lasted. Also a reinforcement that I am so glad we kept our wedding as minimal as we did. I wish there was a series on this site of marriage advice from couples that have lasted a very long time, accompanied with cute old wedding pictures of course. This is sweet.

It makes me think of my parents' wedding story. My mom and dad got married for a few hundred bucks in 1979 on a friend's riverside property. The invitations were hand written in sharpie and photocopied. My mom wore a simple cotton dress and my dad wore jeans. My mom's bouquet consisted of whatever flowers were growing in my grandmother's yard (shrimp flowers!). Guests were asked to bring a covered dish and an instrument as there would be a jam session after the ceremony (my dad is a musician). My parents celebrated 30 years of marriage last year and say their friends still talk about how much fun they had at their wedding. While my own wedding will probably be a little more elaborate than that of my parents, I have definitely taken the "expense does not a lasting marriage make" lesson to heart. Congrats on your many years together. What a lovely story! It makes me think of my parents' wedding story.

I am thinking about getting married in my grandparents back yard under an apple tree that I have played on since I was a little girl. Perhaps during the spring time when it is in bloom :) I love these simple, elegant, no fuss weddings! Sounds lovely!

I think your wedding story is romantic. In all honesty sounds a bit silly to 20k for one day that ultimately, the bride doesn't even get to enjoy... Kudos to you. I always wanted to get married on the beach in flip flops! HA! I love that. I think your wedding story is romantic.
