It's time again for my annual post on our wedding anniversary. I can't believe how fast this date just keeps rolling around --- celebrating 58 years this time!!
How fortunate we are to have had very few trials and tribulations along the way, and to be in fairly good health now that we are older. We thank God every day.
There was a lot of preparation for our wedding day, but I don't remember that Bob was involved in the planning. In those days, a wedding and reception was organized by the bride and her mother.
Most weddings back in our small hometown in 1958 were simple. The ceremony was short: a song by a soloist about true love in Christ, an exchange of vows, and a few short words about commitment. And, then we were off.
As we all know, a beautiful wedding does not necessarily make a great marriage. But, those reminders about love in Christ and commitment to each other have worked for us.
Since there are no color photos of our wedding, here is a
little color added to this otherwise black and white post:

Wonderful pictures! Happy Anniversary!
58 years together says so much for you and your hubs, so happy for you. So glad to hear your lives have been pretty good all this time. Does it seem to you life was so much simpler then? How familiar the clothes, cars, hairdos are, almost like yesterday. Loved all your photos, your dress was gorgeous.
Altho ours is 2nd. marriage for both of us we'll be married 48 years 11/30. Have had our trials and tribulations but have settled into retirement peacefully, kick back at home, enjoying our grandkids and furry kidz. We're both in pretty good health and hope same for you two. All in all when it comes down to it what else really matters?
God bless you both.
Happy Anniversary! It looks like you had a beautiful wedding and have a wonderful marriage!

Happy Anniversary!!! I just absolutely love this wedding story and the darling photos. Weddings have gotten so different in the last several years. Wnen I talk to brides now as I work on their dresses, it is interesting to hear what they say.
Happy Anniversary - 58 years doesn't happen much these days. I loved your pretty fall runner and bowl.
58 years is a lot to be proud of! I enjoyed seeing your wedding photos. I can't quite imagine having such a large wedding but it must have been amazing. Happy Anniversary! Visiting from Tablescape Thursday.
