My parents got married during the time when bachelor parties were held the night before the wedding. My father, not one to ever shirk a good party, had a swinging bachelor party. Only problem was that somehow his glasses were broken amid the fun. (It will be long debated how this actually happened.) Luckily, my dad had a friend that wore a similar prescription and he borrowed those glasses for his wedding day. His glasses are crooked in all the wedding photos and I wonder how well he could see. No wonder that he had a headache with the wrong prescription glasses and a few beers too many!
My mother, knowing the bachelor party was the night before, refused to put her wedding dress on until she saw my dad pull up outside!
On a fun note, my husband and I also spent our honeymoon driving up Pike's Peak. Happy anniversary to the best parents ever!

Happy anniversary to your parents. I was married in 1974, too - boy do I feel old right about now :-)
Thank you, Debi! I will pass your words on to my rents.
