LET’S TOAST THE BRIDE

I am joining that sweet blogger, Stephanie at Angelic Accents, for a Wedding Blog Party!  Thanks for hosting, Stephanie.  I know you’re not surprised to find vintage memorabilia at my party.  I can’t believe I even displayed my bedraggled much-loved childhood bride doll on the mantel!  
 

Happy marriages begin when we marry the one we love, and they blossom when we love the one we married. Tom Mullen



Remember that if you ever put your marital problems on the back burner they are sure to boil over.  Anonymous



There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.  Johnny Depp






Love is like a bed of roses, there are many thorns. The path to true happiness lies in learning to avoid the thorns, while enjoying the roses. Lillian Carol Russell

 

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the wedding cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up.

Ogden Nash

You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. Sam Keen

Once in awhile,
Right in the middle of an ordinary life,
Love gives us a fairy tale. Anonymous

Sometimes we make love with our eyes. Sometimes we make love with our hands. Sometimes we make love with our bodies. Always we make love with our hearts. Anonymous

Love and magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart. And they both take practice.  Nora Roberts




The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we can never give enough of is love. Henry Miller

JUNE BRIDES EVERYWHERE (but they are out of control around here)!

In the 60’s, when honeycomb decor wasn’t tacky, my mother had a wedding party.  Of course, I have kept the decorations she had left over from the party, but I’ve never had an occasion when I felt like the bride would appreciate the use of honeycomb decor, so they have stayed boxed up until now.  I’m so glad that Stephanie at Angelic Accents is hosting a Wedding Blog Party, so I can let my vintage honeycomb and plastic decorations out of the box for a day!

 At an auction years ago, I bought a box for $5.00, because there was a silver tray I liked on the top of the box.  I didn’t know until I got home that there was a little collection of plastic wedding cake toppers in the box too. 
 
 The little “doll-looking” bride and groom is an old bridge tally I found when I cleaned out Mother’s house, along with the small party invitation with the cutouts in the bride’s gown.  The 3D card is a reproduction.  

 The faux pearls inside the conservatory were in my bridal bouquet. 

 This sweet musical bride was a gift from my sister-in-law when her brother and I announced our engagement.








I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday, and Stephanie at Angelic Accents for the Wedding Blog Party on Friday.
