Post a picture of your parents
It doesn't have to be their wedding. It can be any picture of them.



My parents got married on May 3, 1945. They were both active duty Marines at the time.

1. I don't have a photo I can scan easily
but my parents were married on 8/8/58. Their 50th wedding anniversary is on Friday. :)

2. The one in the middle is my mom.


I don't have any of my father, or either my late or current stepdad in photobucket.

3. Most recent ones i think i have...
My dad (holding my daughter) in late 1989. He passed away in September of '92


Here i am in 1996, with my daughter, my mom, brand new stepdad, and my grandmother. This was taken at their wedding.
Except for my daughter (who's now almost 20), nobody look much different now.

25. Wow.
His death hasn't even put me off of flying. Even if it's just on a hanglider, I'm going up there someday.

:hi:

Wanna hear something weird? John Denver, who, like my dad, died when his ultralight crashed, was our distant cousin. :yoiks:

I didn't go to school there, but I spent a lot of time getting drunk and getting laid in Urbana.

Edited on Wed Aug-06-08 03:20 PM by MrsGrumpy
My mother (sitting, unhappily, behind us on our wedding day). She and my father were married for just about 40 years, and then divorced about 2 and a half years ago. I knew, at 5, that they were a mess.

Three sons later, none of them inherited his looks. :shrug: And my mom, she was a beauty and I missed out on that, trust me. x(

54. Not a good picture but my favorite
It's a scan of an old snapshot taken by me with a Polaroid Swinger sometime during the 1960s. I like it because it's completely candid and so evocative of a time in the past.

Mom and Dad on their wedding day, September of 1962.


Here they are a few years later. In her younger years, my mother was something of a fashion plate. Dad isn't too shabby. It is the mid-60 in this picture!


And here they are today.
