My Dad, Mom, husband, me and the two kids June 27th, 1980
I was married outside at Morton Arboretum, Illinois where you aren’t suppose to have large gatherings. It was only 40 people and we left right after the ceremony for the reception at Jerry Sharkos restaurant where I worked as the night manager and also where we met. Everybody had to pay $1 to get into the wedding. My two step children participated as flower girl and ring bearer.
Sally from The (Mis) Adventures of Karl and Sally has started a new meme where the past is remembered through sharing old family photographs and this is #10. I love the idea and hope you will too. So join the fun by clicking here.

Gaelyn, you look so young and beautiful. A flower child indeed!
You were a beautiful bride. :-)
Why the $1.00? Nice memory.
You looked young, radiant, and beautiful.
Lovely picture, - beautiful bride.
Great memory--sounds sort of like the wedding of one of my daughters--you've just given me an idea for the meme, sometime!
I love these old stories (1980 isn't so old, is it?!!)I think of the 1960s as relatively recent.
That is so funny that you sneaked in a wedding at the arboretum! And everyone had to pay $1 to get in. Great post!
Everyone is so happy in the picture and you look beautiful.
Im not surprised that you were married out in nature. Where else but an arboretum?
What a beautiful photo; it is such a good picture of all of you.
PS: what a beautiful bride!
Hi Geogypsy!
You have gorgeous photos, good for you. Also, some good news: here at The Morton Arboretum, we now have large gatherings, so please come back and hold your anniversary party with us : - ).
Best, Gina Tedesco

Gaelyn: what a neat photo of the past. I love the columns in the background.
Those columns are worth every bit of the $1 everyone had to pay. (Actually worth more than that!)
