My dress is in a box with bay leaves on top in tissue paper. It was $20.00, bought from Petrie's (if anyone ever remembers those stores). It was a long cream with just a bit of lace in front with a few pearl buttons, empire waist & tied in the back. I wore a floppy blue hat that I put daisys on & had 13 people at the wedding.
Met hubby in August of 1973 ... engaged October 1973 ... married June 21st 1974.
Total cost including flowers & preacher & dress ... $100.00
Life together .... PRICELESS !!
