Wedding Prep June 1985

Events, Memories, , , ,

Dean and I got married at a small church outside Elgin. Then we had a picnic reception in my parents’ back yard. Here are some of the preparations. This must have been the day before the wedding.

Travel

Enjoy your trip (card company not specified)

People don’t send cards to other people who are going on trips anymore, as far as I know. This one is silly and doesn’t make sense (why a cow?), but I like the definite 70s vibe.

Enjoy your trip for all you're worth -- Then if you can, come back to earth.

Wedding

Wedding Congratulations (A Sunshine Card)

Another Sunshine Card — and very vintage-y.

Cottage behind a white picket fence surrounded by a tree, two bushes and a flowering vine.
As your hearts are joined in wedded bliss this wish is sent to say may you always be as happy as you are on this sweet day!
Back of the card: A sunshine card. Tree branch covered in red flowers and green leaves.

Anniversary

Congratulations! (A Sunshine Card)

This one is sort of boring. Maybe the above card should have been an anniversary card and this should have been the wedding card.

Congratulations! Illustration of a golden bell covered in red and white flowers.
Hope your anniversary's happy and throughout the future, too. May you find that each tomorrow brings more happiness to you.
