I never thought I would get to the point where I could say "40 years ago...." Well, it's happening more and more all the time. 40 years ago today, Roy and I were married. It was a Thursday. And it was a cold day... but really warm in my heart. We were married in the Monteview chapel, which was new and beautiful, and had our reception in the Terreton church, which was home to me.
I got out our wedding book this morning and we had fun looking at all the old pictures. Our pictures were taken with an old Polaroid camera and are fading. Its hard to even see who's in some of them.
I bought Roy a camera for a wedding present, so our honeymoon pictures are a little better. This is Roy standing by a huge tire at Kennecot Copper Mine in Salt Lake.
So much has changed....Everyone wore dresses to my bridal shower. My dad gave me a corsage to wear that night. My ring cost $175. My wedding dress cost $99. The Ramada Inn cost $11.50 a night to stay on our honeymoon. Gas was $.32 a gallon.
Four years ago, my mom passed away on our anniversary, so now a sad memory comes up on November 12. (I'm sure she didn't mean to..)
It's been a 40-year roller coaster of a ride, but well worth it! We've come a long way baby!

Wow Myrna. Those are such cute pictures and I'm so impressed that you remember all of those details about 1970. A whole lifetime ago, heh?
Happy Anniversary to you guys!
Do you still have that nice, mustard yellow shirt that goes with that awesome leisure suit? Happy 40th! Love you both!
What a cute couple you were and are! Do you still have your wedding dress somewhere? I guess Aunt Beth made your cake too? Beautiful! Happy Anniversary!!
Congrats! You two look like my parents... purely based on your hair-dos and outfits! I love it!
