What will, or did you get married in?

[Hep Kitten]

This is what we wore. We had a simple, courthouse wedding. Best day of my life.

 

[Fletch]

The way things are going, probably my dotage.

Great photos, everyone! Nashoba, when it came to me to swat the bride with my saber, I was very gentle! Considering that she was the daughter of our Sergeant Major, I though it prudent.

For my own wedding, though, I went traditional, as many others here, with the morning coat. Trust me, I was a lot happier than I look in this photo! I have no idea why this is one of the few that we have electronically, 'cause we have a lot of better ones around.

I made my gown. It's a very pale pink. The shoes were my "old", vintage 1940s cream colored leather wedgies.

[Babydoll]

Thanks. My girls made their dresses as well.

You have a beautiful family, Babydoll. Both bride and groom look so happy together. Here's to many years of happiness together as a family.

Thanks, Prairie Dog.

Mrs Jordan not being a vintage fan, at my 2002 wedding I wore a hired morning coat of respectable cut plus rented trousers with my own braces, waistcoat, shirt, collar, etc. The braces were purple silk spottys by Albert Thurston whilst the waistcoat was purple linen, six button, four pocket with notched lapels by Hackett. The shirt was a white cotton tunic by Budd, double-cuffed, worn with a matching stiff semi-cutaway turndown collar, also by Budd. The cufflinks were silver chain-link double-ovals with the "Golden Jubilee" hallmark, appropriate as I was getting married in Jubilee year, whilst my front stud was vintage sterling silver. With this I wore a purple, silver and black check silk tie by M&S, a purple silk handkerchief and patent leather Church's Oxfords. By way of accessories I had a vintage silver lapel vase, bought for me by my wife, holding a discreet floral boutonniere, plus a silver single Albert chain (a family thing) with bloodstone fob, anchoring a 1930 J.W. Benson silver half-hunter pocket watch, and (finally) a silver-topped ebony walking cane.

Anthony.

Probably a wise decision Mojave. The particular Marine who whacked me happened to be one of my husband's best buddies so I never had a chance. lol

 

[Salv]

And you're still a cute couple!

Thanks Dan, you're too kind.

Ok, I will bite. Morning suit with black silk top hat, married in the same church that I was Christened in back when everything was still in black and white - the church itself is over 1,000 years old.

Hmmmm - I do look young in these photo's but it was a few years ago now.

 

[Smithy]

Sharp Micawber, sharp!

The church we are looking at here for having the big day is 1,000 years old as well. We're off this week to talk to the powers that be to discuss dates when it's available. Now we've got the "fun" part of organising everything.

Although I don't see it happening soon at all... morning wear, of course. I'd probably get the services of my friend Erin to do the bride-to-be's dress.

 

[imoldfashioned]

Do you have any other pictures of this dress--it looks completely stunning!

Everyone looks so great on this thread.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Powder blue tails (rented of course).

Uk wedding

I married my lovely American chap in a 16th centuary church here in England

 

[Jovan]

I would seriously consider getting married in a frock coat like that. Beautiful. I like the relative simplicity of your dress too... less is more, as they say.

Powder blue tails (rented of course).

My mom and stepdad got married in powder blue. Dad wore a powder blue tux with tails complete with the powder blue ruffled shirt. Mom wore a powder blue dress....even I wore powder blue..
