On this day ..... "I Thee Wed"

December 16 1967 Richard and I were married at Christ Church, Drouin in Victoria. It was a beautiful, early summer's day, with many family and friends gathered together. The reception was held in the Church Hall and superbly catered for by the Ladies Guild. Our Honeymoon was four wonderful weeks in New Zealand.

Coloured photos were a rarity back then, unfortunately.

'All dressed up, with somewhere to go!"


With my sister, Rita, and my father.


With our wonderful attendants, John and Rita.

With our parents.


I did manage to find one coloured slide after all.


Thirty nine years later we are happily retired, and very proud of our four children (photo taken about 6 years ago - must be time we got together for a new one).

Congratulations of 39 years! I loved the photographs. What a beautiful couple. Your anniversary is the same day as our oldest granddaughters birthday. She is turning 11.

My hubby and I just celebrated 36 years together. We are only mid-fifties, so it will be a few years before retirement.

39 years in this day and age is an amazing achievement. We're only a third of the way to that and I'm only beginning to understand what you have accomplished.

Congratulations Alice and Richard.

Isn't it wonderful to look back on our wedding photos and relive the memories (and see how young we looked back then)?
Ross says you haven't changed a bit Alice :)
You make a handsome couple!
I love these photos, especially the first one.

Congratulations, it must have been a good year for marriages - ours is on 3rd September (but I wore a mini-dress in a swinging London wedding!) Those parents could be ours though, so similarly dressed.
