Can this picture get anymore full of class? I'm in love with is couple!

Look at her smirk. She knows something. Look at his cool gaze off to the side. Man knows where he is going.

Ferns, satin hems and a bow.

This picture has a bit of everything. From the pretty bride all the way to the dower groomsman and big bow in the brides attendant's hair.
The bride is wearing the most lovely necklace I've seen in a while for wedding jewelry. A simple chain with a circle. Maybe a ring of a loved one? A gift from the Groom?

Sometimes, props make the photo

My Mr found this for me at a flea market.

Isn't it neat?

I'm digging the background and props.

Organizing the chaos.

After my two big trips, I have quite a lot of photos to go through and store.
I bit off more than I can chew. So the cataloging of the collection will begin.
I have an idea of what will be done. Right now, my biggest problem are my framed portraits and wedding certificates.

I am still working on it. Its a big project.
I think I may have to sell some of my pictures. There is just no room. :(

I will sit and think on it.

Navy Man and his Bride.

I've been gone. I am so sorry :(

But I hope the picture I'm giving you makes up for it.
My husband and son gave my a bundle of wedding pictures for my birthday two weeks ago. Among them this picture plus and new wedding certificate!

I am running out of room

The picture is in rough shape. But the happiness shines through

The dress is so simple in the details but elegant. See the bows? My favorite touch.

The pearls set it off quite nicely.

And he, so proud in this uniform. And quite handsome too!

Here comes the Bride. ( And where I've been)

I am so sorry for the long absence. Life happened.

But while I was out, I did go antiquing! Went to my usual haunt in the Dells, nothing new *sigh*

But then I hit up Roscoe Antiques in Roscoe, IL!!

I have found a new place to go. For almost everything. I came out there smiling ear to ear and the customer service cannot be beat!

And then I was in Milwaukee to see Fitz and the Tantrums this past weekend and discovered Antiques on Second

Three stories of joy! I hit jack pot. I love this place. I was with the Mr and friend of ours. and we canvased the entire place. My Friend Jen went for records, as did her hubby, Andy. My Mr and I went for pictures and whatever caught his fancy.

I found this picture in MLK

She's pretty. Look at her face. She can't wait to get married! The excitement

Her dress is lovely and simple, the flowers sweet and subtle.

I wonder who the other two people are? Her parents? Family, friends?

I bet her soon to be husband's eyes popped out at the first look at her!

It's Been Ten Years.

Ten wonderful, fantastic, frustrating, topsy turvy years that I have been married to my wonderful Mr.

Here is Us...10 years ago. I was 20 and he was 23.
