October 29th,weddingday Adri en Ype


Today is our weddinganniversary.... the 32nd
And the 10th anniversary my husband is so missed
But sure a day to remember!
And a dress to remember.....



October 29,1976.
On August 31, I bought the yarn and started crocheting.
The day before the wedding it was completed in a little less than 2 months.
The little cap I crocheted using a pattern of a fur cap from a magazine of 1953, thatI accidentally crossed.

My mother crocheted the upper part of the dress and made a dark green lining,
she made a little bag of the same material using an old silver ornament, that was used in the 1800's by an early relative.
It was part of the official Frisian costumes of that times. At that time we didn't know your custom of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Only the blue thing was missing because I also borrowed a pair of crocheted gloves of my MIL. I did not wear them. My shoes had the same colour of the lining of the dress and the colour of my husband 's suit was the same too."
