A walk through the past.

Today we celebrated Grandma Oropeza's 85th birthday. My parents and I took Grandma Becky out to eat and my mom started asking her about her wedding. [Clearly, because what else would we talk about these days? Wedding talk is all we know].

I felt like I was in When Harry Met Sally. You know the part where the old couples talk about how they met. I wish I had had a camera, because that is what it was like. Grandma was so funny. She said that she saw my Grandfather at a church bazaar and he got in an argument with his girlfriend. So, Grandma went up to him and started talking to him. Way to go, grandma! 8 years later, they were married. And the wedding was a whole different story...

Getting married back then was a lot of work. They had the ceremony at 7 am at the church! That's right 7 am! Grandma said it was the only time they could do it at. Then they had to go back and make the food. They got real chickens from Sugarland (because that's where the good chickens were from) , they boiled them, and took the feathers off. Just so they could eat them. I'm so glad we don't have to boil chickens for my wedding. :) They had the reception at the house, so they had cleaned out the house and moved out all the furniture, and the night before the wedding there was no where to sleep. Grandma slept in a chair. She was so cute talking about her wedding story. It will be so fun when Brad and I are 80 and get to share our wedding story with our grandkids:)
