mema's thank you cards

I am guilty of re-posting this from the wedding planning website that I blog for. This was this week's photo of the week for the Classic Creations blog, but I love this photo so much I had to post it here!

While rummaging through old photos, I came across one of my favorites. A while ago one of my aunts discovered a box full of extra thank you notes from my grandma and grandpa's wedding. My grandparents had both recently moved to the United States and were living in New York where they met and were married. My grandma, "Mema," was born and raised in Dungannon, Ireland, and my grandpa was from Dunfermline in Scotland.

They tied the knot at St. Sebastian's Church in Queens, New York in February, 1956. Weren't they a lovely pair? I love everything about this photo - the dainty bows on her dress, her crown, the major 1950s haircut on him, and even the font on the perfect message at the bottom. I'm sure they had a beautiful wedding.

Here is another photo of the pair - I don't have a clue what it's from, but I'm going to secretly start dressing in the same colors as Jim so we can attempt to be this cute.
