I agree with you on the fancy smancy weddings. I have not paid for one but I have attended a few and many of them didn’t work. My husband and I had a very simple wedding, I wore a borrowed dress and it has held together for almost 58 years ( if I counted right) .
( geese can it really be that long?)
If hubby and I make it to next Sunday (Aug23), we will have 67 years under our belts. Ours was an evening wedding with only his twin sister and her husband as witnesses at the church with cake and punch at parents home after. Cost-$25.00 for pastor. We have been blessed.
