There have been wonderful declarations, quotes, and comments about the month of June written by others . And I truly give my own hearty affirmation to the beautiful month of June as it is still my most favorite month of the year.
June bursts serenely forth, it sheds its array of glories, and declares special wonder without any hesitation whatsoever.
But despite all the other things that June represents, it continues to hold favor for me as the month of brides, weddings, and marriage. Being a June bride still holds merit to me because on this third day of June forty-seven years ago I was wed.
Wedding photographs of the late 70's would not even register on a scale with the photography used today for weddings. We chose the best photographer in town and I believe this photo was considered "special effect".
(though that white line is the plastic over the photo)
My husband asked me what I wanted to do for our anniversary. He was thinking about dinner in a restaurant. From where we live, we would have to drive anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to dine at a good restaurant. As I was wanting lamb... we both love lamb... and not many restaurants serve a good lamb meal; I answered, "I'll cook." I am able to prepare a simple, but delicious lamb meal, and truthfully it has been a joy to give this day intentional focus on my blessed marriage as I go about preparing for our evening together. Therefore, we will pack a box of food, a small overnight bag and drive to the cottage where I will prepare a special anniversary meal and we will stay at the cottage for the night. A "Getaway"...across the street.

Happy Anniversary! Your celebration plans sound lovely! Beautiful photo too. andrea
Happy Anniversary! We will be married this month for 45 years. What a lovely wedding shot there! ...Oh and that quote...Love it.
From a fellow June bride, blessings, ~Amelia
Happy anniversary a few days late! I wonder if the church that you were married in had a rule against photos taken during the service ( the pews all look empty). I know that was the case for us.
That is so funny you said this because other than that man on the left with his arm over the side of the pew in the photo, I thought it looked as if there were no other "witness" attendees there either! But there were and I have other photos to prove it.😊 My church did not have any rules about photographing, that I recall, yet I believe it was not like today when the photographers might seem to forget it is in fact a Worship Service.
Thank you Amelia. June brides, the both of us!
Thank you for your kind wishes. Our celebration was lovely.
Thank you Granny Marigold!
Hello Cathy. Thank you so much for stopping by Joyful in His Presence and leaving me such a lovely and helpful comment.
Happy Anniversary to you and your husband. We had a 70's wedding as well. At the time, we don't think that our attire will ever be outdated but the bottom line is that all brides are beautiful, and all grooms are handsome regardless of the time period in which they wed. :)
Love the Martin Luther quote about marriage!
