Wedding Anniversary

Today I'm celebrating 29 years of marriage to my husband Steve. 
We chose to have a low key wedding in our town hall registry office with a few close friends and family followed by a quiet meal in a restaurant. I remember Steve sat an exam at college on the morning of our wedding and I was so nervous when I was driving to the hairdressers that for a few split seconds I forgot how to drive! How scary is that? 

Note the padded shoulders - very fashionable at the time (honest).

 We forgot to take the money to pay the registry fee but luckily a relative saved the day and lent it to us!  To save money a friend took some photos for us and my cousin sent me flowers which I held as my bouquet. We didn't have a honeymoon but went away for a camping and walking holiday on Exmoor, North Devon later in the summer.

Our wedding cake was topped by an ornamental church which had been used on both my grandmothers and mothers wedding cake (not a very good copy of the photo unfortunately). 
For us it was a perfect, simple day shared with close family and friends - the only things I regret maybe looking back at the photos are the padded shoulders and the hat but at least it gives our children something to giggle at!
