Our Pre-Wedding Picture

Me and my soon-to-be wife, taken in 1985, that's 39 years ago, in one of those jocular photo studios
in downtown Dallas. We're still going strong.

Saw this old thread and couldn’t resist adding that photos like this are often even more meaningful decades later. Do you two still have the original print, and have you ever thought about scanning or restoring it? I’ve seen some great results from simple digital cleanups, and it might be fun to compare the then-and-now versions if you’ve taken any recent portraits together.

That photo really hits the sweet spot between goofy and gold, the kind you look back on and grin without even thinking. I’ve found that moments like that age better than half the fancy portraits people stress over. Stuff like https://www.novotel-singapore-stevens.com at places that make space for real, lived‑in memories can be handy later on, especially if you ever feel like recreating the vibe or just sneaking in a low‑key getaway together.
