Here is her story from her wedding day that she submitted:
"My husband and I got married 23 years ago when I was 18 years old. It was a different era then and I hadn’t yet had a chance to develop my own sense of who I was or what my style would look like. Weddings were not elaborate affairs and very few people had professional hair and make-up.
I graduated from highschool in June 1988 in Campbell River, BC. My wedding was set one month later on July 30th of that same year. My dad picked an ordered the wedding invitations and we bought everything for my wedding in one trip to Vancouver’s main street. There was no shopping around for the perfect wedding outfit or reception outfit. We walked into Frontier and looked at the 5 or so wedding outfits and picked one. We then proceeded across the street and bought a gold set and bangles and called it a day.
Back in Campbell River, I popped into the Shoppers Drug Mart and bought burgundy lipstick and nailpolish and that was the totality of my wedding makeup. On my wedding day, my 18 old self crowded into my parents bathroom (which consisted of a toilet and sink) and proceeded to do my own make up. A friend came over and helped me put my hair up in a bun making sure to leave my bangs out in a messy bird’s nest type concoction. She tied my chunni and I grabbed flowers that my dad had ordered from a local florist and off I went to get married.
My Dad had hired a professional photographer but my husband’s family didn’t have the patience to wait for the pictures because they wanted to catch the next ferry back to the mainland. The pictures that were taken included everybody under the sun but none of just my husband and I or us with my family. My husband’s family friend took pictures for them and there are hundreds of 5X6 pictures but none of us…lots of his family etc.
To this day, I don’t look at my wedding pictures and have not watched my own wedding video. Even though we are a lot older, I would love to have some beautiful pictures that I would be proud to frame and place in my home."
