Tomorrow will be my 20th Wedding Anniversary.
I can't tell you what I was wearing 20 years ago today but tomorrow you will be able to see what I was wearing Feb 11th 1989.
By a total coincidence when I was taking today's photo I noticed I was standing in front of the picture which shows my parents and grandparents on their wedding days.
From the left you can see my maternal grandparents, Winnifred and John pictured on their wedding day - January 11th 1941.
My grandfather fought in the Second World War but died suddenly of a thrombosis when he was just 42.
My grandmother never remarried and died in 1989 aged 72.
My parents Frank and Joyce (in the middle) married on March 23rd 1963 and thankfully are both still alive and live happily together in the next road to me.
My paternal grandparents Winnifred and Tom married (on the right) on March 31st 1934.
They remained happily married until my grandmother died on Mother's Day 1975. My grandfather died less than two years later.

Cardigan - Principles
Scarf - Tesco

Fantastic outfit! These are one of the best pairs of pants I've seen you in.
I love seeing the photos of your parents and grandparents. Great stories.
Love the outfit - you look so slim and chic!
Wonderful stories about your family.
Great wedding pictures and stories.
Ok, now take your hands out of your pockets - you are ruining the line of your pants. There! Thank you, you're a doll.

I'll be thinking about you both tomorrow.
Hope you have a great day - remembering all the wonderful times and looking forward to so many more in the future.

Those scarves really do complement your curvy figure.
How neat to have those all those old wedding photos. What a treasure!
That's a chic outfit -- I love it. How did you tie the scarf? I usually fold mine in half and then pull the ends through the loop side, but my scarf ends up a lot longer. I like how you got yours to be a little shorter.
You look gorgeous - and I love old wedding photos - they are such a reminder of the fashions of the time.
I can't wait to see what you were wearing on your wedding day!
