A while back I was making a dress to wear to my Grandparent’ 50th wedding anniversary. I thought you might like to see me in it, (though not a great photo) as well as a few shots I took on the day.

A photo from their wedding day, and 50 years on. (The neat thing about your 50th wedding anniversary? It falls on the day- not just the date- you were married.)
