Un adorabile matrimonio rétro in bicicletta durante il Giro d’Italia
La sapete disegnare una bicicletta a memoria, o finireste anche voi per creare una specie di astronave? Dopo aver letto quest’articolo mi sono messa all’opera con una matita spuntata sentendomi addosso la responsabilità di varie generazioni, perciò sono rimasta un po’ sconcertata quando ho visto che, soddisfatta com’ero del mio disegno e dei vari dettagli come i freni ed il portapacchi, avevo…
Matrimonio: un Tea Party letterario con Jane Austen
L’incontro con Silvia e Giorgio era sul sentiero del destino: quando ci siamo visti la prima volta Silvia mi ha detto “Ho subito saputo di voler lavorare con te, però ho provato qualcun altro prima per via della distanza. Ad un certo punto ho capito che non era la persona giusta per noi, quella eri tu, e così eccoci qui.” Lavorare insieme a loro è stato impegnativo, sono arrivati in estate…

My Grandparents’ Wedding Party.
Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia (1965)
Quite an Idyllic picture portraying not just the matrimony of two souls, but the gathering of tight-knit communities that presented throughout most Indonesian villages around this time, where families and friends lived closed by each other.

An email submission from Neal:
LariAnn and I went out on a couple of dates about a year after I got out of the Navy. Dixon was her maiden name. She was really a nice person to know, but I was somewhat stupid back then. I never followed-up with her. Our big date was when we went to the Copacabana in NYC and saw the newly-formed group,The Supremes (sans Diana Ross). This was in 1966! Great times back then. I just took a shot and Googled Bride’s Magazine for Aug/Sep 1966 today and viola, there she was. My friend called me back then to let me know that she was on the cover and the memory just crept back in recently. I never spoke with her again. Hope she had a happy life! Neal O'Connor.

Our Wedding, Wednesday evening, 6:30 PM, July 28, 1976 – A.1.C. Donald W. & Shari (Flythe) Davenport, Newport News City Park, Newport News, VA. New Residence in Hampton, VA.
Groom is wearing the almost obligatory polyester Leisure Suit, with coordinating polyester shirt. No matter the heat-holding properties of polyester, this was still more comfortable for him than his Dress Blues uniform, which also would have been too formal for the occasion, which was held outdoors, in the early evening of a day in July in the mid-South, on the coast of the Chesapeake Bay!
Bride is wearing the iconic “Gunne Sax” by Jessica McClintock, all-white cotton blend with lace overlay on the Queen Anne neckline bodice and lower portion of the leg-o-mutton sleeves, and the corset laced bodice, with satin string. In the hairstyle, reminiscent of the Gibson Girl of the early 1900’s, a Baby’s Breath halo takes the place of a veil, which would have been not only impractical under the circumstances, but out of style with the dress, and the whole theme of the wedding.
