Happy Anniversary Fannie and Lue!



On New Years Eve, 1948,  my grandmother, Fannie Lewis and my grandfather, Lue Watt, travelled to Cumberland, Maryland from Pennsylvania to get married. As my grandmother tells it, Lue wanted to get married on the last day of the year for the tax benefit! But I think that, while, yes,  he probably DID want the tax break, that my grandfather was a bit of a romantic.

This year, some 60+ years later, my 8 year old daughter has donned her great-grandmother's wedding gown. It's absolutely too big, but she sure looks cute. I even pin-curled her hair and gave her victory rolls, as learned on the attached tutorial video.



Thanks to Mylulu2 for the fabulous tutorial!

Happy New Year!
