I have not been to a wedding in a very long time. It's probably because most of my friends are married already. So it's a very pleasant surprise when we do get an invitation.
Of course, the down side is that we are now considered the 'old' ones at the weddings. Not invited by the bride nor groom but the parents of the groom. The groom is our church friend's son.

Yes, that is what I call.. us stepping into a new generation of weddings. Our friends' kids are getting married! Sigh... And weddings have sure changed since I got married! This one was a gorgeous one at a winery. All the decor matched outdoors and indoors. It was quite beautiful. But very short and sweet. None of those one hour ceremonies that we used to attend.

| This dinner was family style and American food... a FIRST for me! |
Thankfully there were a few other 'older' couples that we kept company with.
 |
| Me and my BFF Helen (yes us old folk can have BFFs) |
 |
| My hubby and me (our 19th year of marriage this year.. next year is the big 2-0!) |
 |
| Helen with her hubby Scott (celebrating 21 years of marriage!) |
 |
| The Parks, Lisa and Jay (celebrating 26 years of marriage!) |
 |
| The Yees, Michael and Angela (who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this year) |
 |
| And my boss, Stephanie and my optometrist, Gary Louie (celebrating 33 years of marriage!) |
Now as entertainment, they had a professional photo booth! Photo Booths are the rage!
They had a photographer there to take your picture and a huge table filled with props and a hat rack filled with hats etc..
After they take the picture, they immediately print a 4x6 of it for you to take home!
It was great fun! One of the most memorable! Congratulations to Mel & Dave!

We aren't that 'old' are we?
