I’ve always been curious when friends have talked about their parents’ weddings. I love seeing what they wore, their traditions, the families that were invited—it’s like taking a step back in time; I love that in thirty years time, our families might be doing the same peek into the past to look at our wedding, too!

In terms of history though, I was pretty lucky: I actually got to attend my parents’ wedding. Say, what? Well, I may not have been there in person or seeing it through my own eyes, but I was definitely a big part of the wedding day—Momma Jaguar was eight months pregnant on her wedding day!

My parents got married very young, upon finding out they were expecting…er, me. My dad was a wee cherub of just 18 and my mum was only 20, so it was quite a low key wedding ceremony. There were no fancy lace gowns or sweeping trains involved, but they still looked super stylish in their wedding duds, and completely adorable. Check them out!

Is my mum’s hat not completely styling? I love it!

Looking suave in grey, papa.

You’ll have to excuse the blurry picture, but look how happy they are!

It does make me a little bit sad that there aren’t any traditional ‘hand-me-down’ items that were kept for me to incorporate into our own wedding day, but just seeing those pictures is enough to make me happy. They got married for love, and for me, and they’re two of the strongest people I know to make things work, even during the tough times. I hope Mr. Jaguar and I can form our own bond throughout our marriage.

Are you incorporating any family traditions into your own wedding?
