I gave it back to them :lol: We got married in Eureka Springs, Ar at an old timey photo shop with wedding chapel. Took about 30 mintues from the time we walked in the door. I wore an old fashioned Victorian dress and hubs was decked out as old west sheriff ....shotgun and all! It was a cheap wedding and we eloped!!! They made me wear red lipstick so I look like a whore. :lol:

Which one??? The first one I tossed into the dumpster as I drove away from the beautiful home we built on a small lake in SW MI. I wanted no reminders. We divorced after 6 years due to his cheating with every stupid woman that fell for his good looks. The second one is still in my closet and we will celebrate our 14th anniversay on June 1st! Love was better for me the second time around!

I made my wedding dress. It is a mini length dress and that was also 100 lbs ago. I still have the dress, still have hubby. Now we are like plumb Hobbits and we "stepped out the door" 38 years ago. Time sure flys by so fast.

I have no idea what happened to the dress I wore the first time. It wasn't a wedding dress anyway.
The dress I wore the second time was just a white dress with a lace overlay. It's hanging in the closet.

The second one, I and my 2 bridesmaids made from 3 different patterns (one for the sleeves, one for the bodice and one for the skirt), pearls and 9 yards of imported French lace (I spent 4 months hand-sewing lace and pearls onto that dress every night after work) - that one is in a nice box in the basement, but I lost the hat in a move.
The third marriage, we eloped to Maryland, and I wore a white maternity shirt (can you guess WHY? :lol: ) and black stretch pants - I looked like a waitress with some silk flower in her hair. Of course that was the marriage that "took" - we've been married for 17 years now, together for 18.
