I liked Abby’s hair and gown as well. Maggie was the best dressed guest at the wedding–very appropriate outfit, but I would have preferred a different color than off-white for her. Several of the other guests, especially Bonnie, wore dresses more suitable for a cocktail party or dancing at a disco. I remember the good old days when people dressed for a wedding much like they would dress for a church service, including hats for the ladies. The party dresses were saved for the evening reception. I realize that today many receptions are held immediately after the wedding ceremony, so guests only get to wear one outfit for both.
My husband and I were married 56 years ago today, September 30. Four children and five grandchildren later, we’re still together. Will any couple in Salem today ever last that long?
