On Saturday my parents celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary. They were married in Kansas City, Missouri at the home of the parents of my dad's best friend, Joel. It was a small wedding and then they took a trip to Colorado for their honeymoon.
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!

Congratulations to your parents. My husband and I will be married 42 years and we could be a carbon copy of your parents.
The style of the dress, the veil and the hair style are very similar. I suppose in 50 more years that will be a trademark of weddings of the 70's.
Congrats to your parents! Funny story on the glasses. :)
Thank you Kathryn and Claudia, I'll pass on the good wishes!
