Happy Anniversary, Mr. We look so earnest, so young, and so in love hanging on to each other. I made my wedding dress two days before the wedding—a Vogue pattern of an Albert Nippon dress. The fabric was $1.39 a yard. The most expensive thing we paid for at the wedding was your suit—which is still hanging in the closet—a 70s classic, just like us!
Happy anniversary!
Happy anniversary, you two!
Happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! May each day be even better than the last.
Thanks everybody!
Aw! Congrats!
I thought you were perfect thirty-seven (yes, thirty-seven!) years ago, but I didn’t realize how much better you’d become. Let’s have lunch!
-First Husband…
What a cute couple! What a cute couple still today. You deserve each other (and that’s the highest complement we can think of). Are there flowers in your hair, Midori? You are so “summer of love.” Wishing and hoping that the best is yet to be.
Oh yes. Everything about those photographs is lovely. I particularly like the way you both gaze off camera, as though viewing the road ahead. Congratulations. And I approve of the thrift. Couples these days seem to go crazy trying to outdo in their wedding day arrangements. Your simpler choice back then seem so much more appropriate to the beginning of a life together. Less pressurised too. Young people today could take a leaf from your book. (-;
Hi There, I have been reading your blog for several months now and I thought you would enjoy this link

Have a lovely day, Karen
Congratulations to the both of you!!
I love the thrift element to your wedding. Fabbo photographs. Your Blog is wonderful. I skipped over here from Drawing Board. I’ll be back! Happy Belated Anniversary! x
Clive and Josephine: Oh…if only you knew how thrifty a wedding it was! We were poor graduate students…I made our invitations, my father and his wife arrived with all the food and my father and my friends helped do all the cooking in the kitchen of another friend at whose backyard we all gathered. A girlfriend made me the bouquet and another group of friends brought a ton of flowers to decorate the backyard. It turned out to be about an eight hour picnic on the grass. We couldn’t afford a honeymoon — and my brother managed to stumble in and fall asleep on the couch of our teeny one bedroom apt before we got home from cleaning up the backyard….so not terribly romantic! We’re still catching up for that long ago deficit! Our friends helped us enormously — but the food was fabulous and it is that which people remember about our wedding.
Karen: thanks for the link to photos…they are very compelling, though a wee bit scary too!
Kate and Dave: Total flower child! Spent most of my wedding in bare feet….sitting on the grass…in a white dress.
Happy Anniversary!
Ah Midori… I had the most marvelous possible grandmother on my father’s side; she had an ineffable sweetness, and in her youth looked so much like this image of you! You might’ve been sisters.
