Couple Recreates Wedding Pics From 1975
To celebrate their 40-year wedding anniversary, one couple decided to recreate their wedding photos from 1975. Magic976, the user that uploaded the photos, writes that his dad was “smooth.” They met in a bar called “The Lower Level” and his first words to her were, “You wanna Boogie?” If that isn’t the start to a great love story, I don’t know what is.” He also noted that his mother made both his father’s wedding jacket and her own wedding dress. Surprisingly, both of them still fit into those same wedding clothes 40 years later!

Summer of ’72
“Summer of 1972, bell Bottoms, wallet chain, and headphones with the longest cord I’ve ever seen.”

Dismount Vernon
“In the 1970s, my family took a trip to Mount Vernon, Virginia, home to George Washington. The whole family was there: my grandparents and aunt, my mother and father, and my sister and me. We decided to pose for photos atop one of the fences in the garden. I remember my father set up the tripod and watched as the family disappeared from view while the fence came crashing down. The only family picture he has from that day is us scrambling to get up, but unharmed. My sister and I were hysterical with laughter, but the rest of the family was humiliated.”

Lone Star
“My dad owned a restaurant in Austin and they had the bear from the Paul Newman film The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean come to a party. This is the 1970’s so a loose bear drinking Lone Star and being fed tootsie rolls from little kids mouths was okay… right?”

Hat Trick
“The year– 1977. For my 2nd grade class picture, I was determined to wear this hat my Grandmother made for me; after all, it matched the dress my mother picked out for me! This photo is the re-take; when my mom saw the first picture – with the hat – she made me go for a do-over. Needless to say the hat came with that day too. I still stand by my decision.”
