Happy Birthday, Little Sister! I love this photo of us---I look so mischievous and you look . . .stunned----No, I meant to say "stunning." Although these photos are in black and white, my dress was a beautiful light green (a little lighter than my car) and yours was a lavendar/lilac. Our grandmother Vennie made these dresses for a very special occasion---I was a bridesmaid and you were a junior bridesmade. . .
for a "Tom Thumb Wedding" at Lafayette Park Methodist Church. Can you find us? I remember being terribly put out that I wasn't chosen to be the bride, but now that I look back at the photo, it could have been worse---I could have been a guest.

Click here for an article about one more recently with some background also. I can recall Mother saying it was a fund-raiser for some group at the church.
Did you find us in the front row to the right?
As with any wedding there were photos before the event. . .
Some staged in a park.
I wanted to end with a very earnest, serious photo of me saying, "Happy Birthday, Jane---I love you and I forgive you for being so darned cute in that lavender/lilac dress!"

I loved this dress! I remember the dresses more than the even because mom had our big pictures made in them.
