Married 37 years ago, the day before my hubby graduated from college. My dad married us, had maybe 10 to 15 people there, the fraternity senior party was at the same time!!! Old fashioned reception in the church with cake made by the kitchen at the college and mints made by my mom's friend. Went to hotel near school and church the next morning with my parents, then off to graudation ceremony for hubby!! Bought my dress from a women who's neice (the first owner) eloped and who's daughter (the 2nd owner) decided at the last minute she wanted a different dress. I think I paid $15 for the dress.
Hubby wore a brown suit and looked pretty good to me!!
Oldest son married 3 years ago at Chicago courthouse with all of 6 people present and reception at the nearest Corner Bakery!!
Now the youngest son went all out, good thing we weren't paying for it.
And all his high school friends have had big weddings. Too much money for my taste.
