We love the way a wedding brings out all the special things. The broach that grandma hasn’t dusted off for 30 years. That old suit your uncle wears to every special occasion. The bride’s homecoming dress that the MOB wore for the “something blue/old” (yes, that was in one of our weddings last year, and it was fabulous!) All the things that get to have a special night.
For Adrianne and Calvin’s wedding, it was this beautiful vintage car, Vernie Sue. 😍 A 1965 Plymouth Valiant that was Adrianne’s grandma’s first car! As little kids, Adrianne and her sisters used to ride in the back seat (with no seatbelts!), bouncing up and down saying "Go, Gramma, go!"
When her grandma stopped driving, she gave it to Adrianne. It was in pretty rough shape having sat many years in the sun. She became little project car for Adrianne and her dad. She drove Vernie Sue all through high school, and out to Missouri for college. She even dropped Calvin off for his first day of work at Albertson's (back in high school, loooong before they ever started dating). When she took a job in Kansas City post-college, they decided the car wasn't quite suited for the city, so she stayed at Adrianne’s parents, where her dad proceeded to spruce her up even more, and now enjoys taking her to car shows.
Adrianne knew she had to be a part of her wedding and was so grateful her dad went out of his way to make it happen. Adrianne loved the photos Sydney and Maggie captured with her!
