    We're not having a traditional wedding cake, instead we're having a wedding pie. The pie isn't really as nice to look at all by itself, so I thought I'd put pictures of weddings from the past on our "cake" table! Here are the pictures I have collected so far:

    My Grandpa and Grandma (on my mother's side):Grandma & Grandpa on their wedding day: Share your family wedding photos! :  wedding photos antique family pictures Grandmaandgrandpa

    My FI's grandparents (On his Dad's side):Grandma & Grandpa on their wedding day: Share your family wedding photos! :  wedding photos antique family pictures Hisgrandpaandgrandma

    My parents:Grandma & Grandpa on their wedding day: Share your family wedding photos! :  wedding photos antique family pictures Robertandlori

    Still working on getting scans of my FI's parents and his grandparents on his mom's side!

    Share your family wedding photos!

    @misskarianne: haha lots of people have told me I look like my Grandma. Unfortunately she passed shortly before I was born, so I never met her. :(

    I love looking at old wedding pictures! I don't have any really "older" ones, but here's one with me and my Mom on my parents wedding day!  This is one of my favorite pictures of us!

    All of these bouquets with the dangly things and crosses! I wonder when those went out of fashion - seems like they lasted a few decades!

     

     

    @auggiefrog: Look at Gramma with the illusion off-the shoulder!  I bet that was considered daring back then!   :)

     

    Haha - I wonder what people of that generation really think of current bridal fashion... or for that matter, prom fashion - with those slits and cut outs that are so trendy these days?!

    My paternal grandparents, after the ceremony. I LOVE their smiles in this picture, and will be featuring it, along with other stuff from our grandparents' weddings, as part of our reception decor.

    I really really wanted to do something like this
    for my wedding but as of 6 years ago my relationship with my parents ended and my FMIL said it would be strange to have it one sided. *sigh* She is right.

    I love love love the old photos!!! Keep em coming girls.

    There have been a hundred of these threads and I finally feel comfortable sharing this picture with you bees. This is my grandma and grandpap after their June 1949 wedding. Notice the building they're coming out of? That's a chicken coop. They got married in a chicken coop.

    My great-uncle, my grandma's brother, started the community's first Catholic parish. Before they had an actual church building to meet in, they held their weekly mass in the local chicken coop. My grandparents got married before the church was built...so...they used the chicken coop! I love it.

    I love this photo because they look SO happy. My grandma seriously never smiles in pictures; this picture was the first time I had ever seen her have a completely genuine, uninhibited smile on her face. And you can see the rice flying!

    Behind them is my grandma's sister and BIL - they were best man and maid of honor.
