Re: Just Got Married
My wedding cost exactly the amount of the marriage license and the pastor fee.
It was August 1990 and DH and I were to have a nice cerempny in November. We came to Oregon (at the time we lived down in California) on vacation and I was picking out a beautiful wedding gown- first fitting the next night.
When we woke up the next morning, a little country that Id never heard of (Iraq) had just invaded another little country that Id never heard of..(Kuwait)
My DH was a US Marine at the time...so vacation was cancelled and he had to be back on base within 48 hours. We drove home, I remember being so frightened about what was happening. We arrived home at 5 in the afternoon, and by 9pm we got married in a pastors front yard. DH shipped off the next afternoon....and I did not see him again for 7 long, stressful months.
We never had the wedding or the honeymoon...but we have enjoyed 16 years of marriage and are looking forward to the retired years someday.
It did feel a little odd not having the typical wedding celebrations, but I can honestly say, looking back, I am grateful for not having the huge expenses and stress that go with the hoopla.
Enjoy your married life...and try to make special moments together as often as possible. It really is about the two of you...rather than 'the day'.
Your pics are beautiful!
Best wishes!
