The Gallery - A Celebration.


Theme of The Gallery this week at Sticky Fingers is 'A Celebration' and i have chosen a photo of my parents wedding day.  

My parents have been married 38 years this year and i have always thought the story of how they met was pretty cool. 

Mum was working as a waitress in a licensed coffee shop in Bournemouth, all 'A line' skirts and knee high boots. My Dad was a Porsche driving car sales manager who started leaving her tips bigger than the bill and eventually asked her out.

It always makes me laugh imagining the crap chat that led to that first date. The rest as they say is history...

  4. Oh I love photos like these. Your parents have been married one year less than mine. My Dad is wearing a similar expression in some of their photos. A generational thing perhaps?.......
