That's FORTY years since Jane and I were married at Arnold, St. Mary's Church
This is a "wedding day photo" and a "today photo".
I shot the "today photo" and then looked in our wedding album (all 30 photos...that's all you got in 1984) and found a similar photo. I'm stood on the wrong side though !!!
Anyway forty years later ....
Two daughters
Two grandchildren
Elsie is our 3rd whippet
We still live in Arnold, Nottingham, we take our grandson, Alfie to a toddler group at St. Mary's, the same toddler group that Kirsty and Claire went to (and Willow too).
Lot's of happy times.
I think the church path looks better in 2024 than it did in 1984, perhaps we looked better in 1984, but we both look good 40 years on.
Congratulations on your Ruby Anniversary, and many more happy years ahead to both of you. A beautiful wedding shot and another great shot for today ! fav
Fantastic Phil, congratulations & well done to both of you! It was a dicy job getting married then, looking back we hardly knew each other compared to these days!
Lively wedding photo, Jane’s dress looks as fresh today as it did then. You don’t look bad either! 😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Have a lovely day.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO BOTH OF YOU. Sometimes I think you are of Maltese origin because Maltese families are the same parents and grandparents are very caring for their offsprings and grand children. God bless you both and may you have hundreds of years together.
@happypat awww thanks Pat , yes Jane's dress was really lovely , my suit was 'off the peg' from a city centre boutique (allegedly Italian fashion) !!! Weddings were not as high profile as they are now !
