Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Remember Whensday - Wedding Day


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.

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!

Ruth said...

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?

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!)
