Remember When Wednesday: Now and Then, Wedding Style

This week on Remember When Wednesday, I thought it would be fun to share some wedding photos with you, specifically those of my parents and of J and I, to see what was different (and the same) about our weddings.


First, my parents.

  • Church: St. Vincent de Paul, Peoria IL

  • Groomsmen: 4 plus a junior groomsman

And now our wedding.

Don't you love the gray suits and big hair?  Definitely an 80's wedding.  I am sure one day my kids will feel the same way and look back at our photos and ask J and I what we were thinking!

  2. Aww thanks girl! Poof sleeves and you can't really tell from the photos but the sleeves on my mom's dress also had frills. Gotta love 80s wedding fashion :)

  3. Just be thankful your mom didn't fall into the 80s cowboy hat veil trend that was sweeping the nation. HAHA
