Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913

Weddings

As promised, memories of June weddings or mostly any wedding of the past. Do you remember when every bride to be made a trip to the store to select a china, crystal and silverware pattern of her choice? I may not remember correctly but it seems to me that these items where chosen at the local jewelry stores. Years have passed and all you need to do is browse Facebook or Glasgow Online to know how popular those items are now. Nobody wants grandma’s treasures, and I am sure the different brand names of China dishes means very little to most of us now. Does make me wonder what kind of memories my great granddaughters will have about weddings of their era when they are of the age I am.

Another interesting memory of past generation weddings. I have no idea how many newlyweds may have shared their honeymoon with friends, but I do know that my folks were accompanied to the Black Hills by another married couple for their honeymoon. Maybe that was to help with expenses. Oh my gosh, I bet that was before cruises were even thought about as a honeymoon adventure.
