Darryl Blakey and I were married on the 11th of May 1974. Our thirty third anniversary would have taken place this year. We had been together since 1969 when I was just nineteen. Our wedding was such a happy day. Everyone remembered it as one of the happiest weddings they had been to.
Those were the days of the mini skirts and hot pants. Jean Shrimpton had shocked all of Australia by wearing a very short mini at the Melbourne Cup. Here we are leaving the reception, married at last.

Lovely my dear: and a reminder that my own daughter used to hem up my dresses for school, my daughter is four inches taller than me! How ancient you make me feel!

Comment by Robin February 17, 2007 @ 4:13 pmWhat a happy memory. And the mini skirt is so you. Bob and I were married two years after you. Amazing the similarities. Heather, you are often in my thoughts and I send you a missive of peace and gentle rest. Your tribute to Darryl is nothing short of magnificent.
Comment by bfahrenbac February 17, 2007 @ 5:33 pmThank you for sharing these with us all, Heather. Wow, check you out in a mini-skirt! People are right, it looks utterly perfect on you! And, oh, bless the ’70’s, lol…I’m looking at the sideburns from a groomsman there on the left. 🙂
I think you’re doing such a wonderful thing for yourself here, sharing your love of Darryl here, walking through the memories, healing as you do, I’m hoping. May this Descansos bring you peace, inner, total peace.
