Very cute photos, Chrissy! Beautiful couple. No way am I posting our wedding pics from 1983, though. My white tux looked like I lifted it off John Travolta. Not as dignified as your good-looking hub’s!

His tux was the ONLY wedding argument we had. As you note, the style then was parfait colors with ruffled shirts. But me and Dearest never did anything normal. Black and white weddings got all kinds of posh about 10 years later, but when we did it, we got “Oooooooooooooookay, I guess that will be nice.” Heck. It was gorgeous. And I’m so GLAD I let Dearest hold the line on the white tie and tails. The classics really work. The men in tuxes ranged from my fireplug dad to his stork brother, but every one of them looked splendid. Every wedding I’d been to, at least one of the guys looks really stupid, because the cut of the tux was just wrong for his body type. But not these. We only argued because the local wedding shops didn’t have them and got surly about the fact that he wouldn’t even LOOK at anything else. We finally found a fantastic men’s shop in another city that understood the classics. Every man even had a personal fitting before the wedding. When I saw Dearest in his tux, I literally stopped breathing, he was that handsome!

You’re so right about the classics. As you said, they became more commonly acceptable a few years later, like here at one of my younger sister’s weddings. The beautiful young woman next to me is Gruntessa.
She’s cute, but she produced some weird kids.

Yep. Barrett .50 BMG. It’s not ours. He got to shoot it a few times during a Boy Scout RAMS event a few summers ago. He says it has a ferocious kick.

Boy Scouts using sniper weapons?They sure have come a long way from when I was in.All we had were pocket knives and hand axes.Made taking out an enemy playing capture the flag a little difficult.

How well the “classics” hold up compared to fads.
That is a nice-looking couple. Does the bride look just a tiny bit apprehensive to you? Bet they’ll have a good marriage.

The look on my face probably had more to do with the fact that my fil was taking the photo. He. Did. Not. Approve. Of. Me. And he let it be known at every opportunity.
